[Po-Hsu Lin <po-hsu.lin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

The Broadcom driver seems not working with the previous kernel
(3.2.0-90), there is no wireless networks available after I boot into
that kernel.

Also, I notice that this issue still exist, I can't 100% reproduce it, but I do catch it stopped working after few more reboots.
I will revert the bug status, sorry for the noise.

Title:

  driver installed

Bug description:
  CID: 201103-7379 Dell Latitude E4310

  With bcmwl-kernel-source 6.30.223.248+bdcom-0ubuntu0.0.2 installed on this SRU system,
  the wireless network refuses to connect to any visible AP, you can see it failed to associate the request to the driver from syslog

  Sep 23 00:28:12 201103-7379 wpa_supplicant[1150]: Association request
  to the driver failed

  02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11bgn Wireless Network Adapter [14e4:4727] (rev 01)
  	Subsystem: Dell Inspiron M5010 / XPS 8300 [1028:0010]
  	Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 17
  	Memory at 52c00000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
  	Capabilities: <access denied>
  	Kernel driver in use: wl
  	Kernel modules: wl, bcma, brcmsmac

  There was once a similar bug reported before (bug 1220504), but it can
  be fixed with deb file provided by Alberto (with driver version
  6.30.223.141+bdcom-0ubuntu1), I will switch back to this package to
  verify this again later.

  
  Note:
  This driver works on another SRU system, 201103-7380, running with BCM4313 [14e4:4727] as well, just with a little difference in the Subsystem:
