Hi, I installed Kubuntu netbook remix 9.10 on Dell Mini 10v. Wifi doesn't work 
"out of the box".
- At the first boot, after 1min the driver manager automatically shows the 
"Broadcom STA wireless drive" to install.
- I click to activate it, nothing happened, the drive manager (jockey-kde) 
freezes.

So, I connect to internet via LAN, and them:
- Tried to activate the Broadcom driver, but nothing, same behavior.

Them I tried to:
- Uninstall bcmwl-kernel-source and bcmwl-modaliases
- Open the drive manager and activate Broadcom. The download started, when the 
installation finished the driver was installed but the pc crash (black screen). 
When I reboot I get "Kernel Panic -  not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs 
on unknown-block(0,0)"

So, there something very strange here.

NB. I tried to install Broadcom during the live CD, but the pc crashs after 
Broadcom driver installation.
I also tried the live CD of Alpha 4 and Alpha 5, and I didn't have any problem, 
wifi works great.

Please fix it.
