Ubuntu 9.04 jaunty, kernel 2.6.30 and Broadcomm wireless drivers

Oh long story ... I upgraded ubuntu jaunty to kernel 2.6.30 because I had troubles with freezing my Intel GMA 945 internal graphics. Fine and everything went OK. But...

My wireless network was gone.

Here is solution:
* On http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php download driver (32, 64b according to your pc)
* carefully read http://www.broadcom.com/docs/linux_sta/README.txt
* do step included in this readme

Wait, wait, wait - about 20 seconds, and my wicd recognized many wireless networks including mine :)

For autoloading of this module you need:
*

sudo mkdir /lib/modules/2.6.30-xxx/broadcomm-wlan/

*

sudo mv wl.ko /lib/modules/2.6.30-xxx/broadcomm-wlan/

* refresh modules

sudo /sbin/depmod -ae

*

sudo gedit /etc/modules

* add new line with "wl"
