Congratulations on getting the driver to work, but I caution you not to rely
on the "Blue Light" telling you it is working. I have a Broadcom "B43" card,
and I was able to use the native Linux driver. I was fooled for a long time
into thinking it wasn't working because the stupid little lights don't work
at all with the Linux driver. In other words, as I was trying to debug the
installation, I was actually making more progress than I thought because I
kept on expecting to see the blue light.
