Installing the manufactures driver for broadcom wireless adapters (the 'wl' driver)

I should reveal one thing misleading about my original post. I state that all the following instructions should be followed without a re-boot or else… In those instructions I explain how to test the driver without permanently installing it. Then I go on to explain how to permanently install them. The earlier threat does not apply to testing the module. If you get as far as the “insmod” command and you find that the driver is not working well for you then you can safely reboot. The computer will forget about all your earlier commands and everything should load as before… I do not want people thinking they have to permanently install the troublesome driver just to reboot.
