Hello again,

The latest kernel that runs my wifi is

~$ uname -r
2.6.28-14-generic

I have problems (caps lock doesn't work, and sometimes shifted keys don't
show on the screen in X server but they do work in CLI) - but that's another
story

Here is the kernel list:

ALL OF THE KERNELS BELOW WORK - Even WITHOUT the Broadcom STA module loaded!
(The keyboard doesn't work with "CAPS LOCK" in kernel 2.6.28-14-generic, but
that's another matter!
