This is basically what I'm ending up doing...I stopped at the release =20
in between, but going to stop at 8.04.

The good news is the broadcom driver (restricted) is available for my =20
wireless card. I was using ndiswrapper before, but the binary driver =20
has some nice features that go with it.

It's gone pretty well so far...but not completed yet.
