Ok is this step necessary as I understand from your message when
officially 10.10 will be released
this would be needed.
I have set it prompt=never
I am usually not the kind to do a regular updates since Broadcomm
drivers are included in 10.10
I read some where on internet so I upgraded I am usually developing
drivers for other Unix type systems on my system.
In a virtualized environment.
Though I am a bit new to Ubuntu using it because all  my wifi worked
on it without headache since then I am on Ubuntu.
