Ubuntu 7.04  (via the Restricted Drivers Manager)  could  only tell  me that the graphic card in my

Compaq  Presario V3222AU  notebook needed  proprietary  Nvidia driver.  However, Ubuntu 7.10

tribe 2 (via the Restricted Drivers Manager)   managed  to  inform  me  that  I could also  have the

Broadcom's  proprietary bcm43xx firmware  for  my Compaq  Presario V3222AU notebook's Dell

1390  wlan  adapter (with Broadcom's bcm4311 chipset).  The open source  bcm43xx driver relies

on  the bcm43xx proprietary firmware.

 

 

 

Needed Nvidia graphic driver. Below  is the sequence of events that occured  when I click on  the

check-box to enable the usage of  the proprietary Nvidia graphic driver for my Nvidia's  GeForce

Go 6150 graphic card. The screenshots below  have  been  arranged in proper order.
