As a test, if you boot off of a 10.04 or 10.10 LiveCD, and select 'TRY' does the LiveCD work with your wireless card out-of-the-box? A test of this will give you feel of how much pain the install of the newer version will really cause. You might find better support of your hardware and less driver setup. Happy accidents do happen from time to time!
