Jockey is the codename for the Ubuntu Hardware Manager tool developed
and maintained by Martin Pitt. Its primary purpose is to assist with the
installation of not-completely open source components. Examples include
nVidia and Broadcom 'wl'. In this case, I believe jockey offers a choice
of b43 or wl (if the PCI IDs overlap).
