Yes! The restricted driver installation for my wifi bcm_43xx card
works now using the Restricted drivers manager (had to install
ubuntu-restricted-extras first manually).

I downloaded the daily ISO image of 9/25/2007 of edubuntu i386 desktop
live cd.
Performed the install of the OS.
Then I tried the restricted driver for the wifi card which was
properly identified.
An error indicated something to the effect that I didn't have
restricted support enabled.

I installed the ubuntu-restricted-extras package which then allowed me
to successfully use the Restricted Driver Manager successfully.

It would be good if the Restricted Driver Manager could make this
suggestion or start the process of downloading this tool.
