My Dell Mini 10 works with 2.6.37 kernels quite happily - just need to
use fwcutter. The firmware on all the broadcom cards I have seen is loaded
each time you boot (each OS loading whatever it comes with).
For the Ubuntu questions you'd need to ask an Ubuntu list.
Careful - there are two different sets - the b43 driver and fwcutter and the
broadcom-wl driver, which also has a matching fwcutter, IIRC. Try to identify
which driver you need. If you can't you may have to try each in turn.
