Title:
  Broadcom BCM43224 (0596) Wifi card not working out of box

Status in “jockey” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  System: Lenovo Thinkpad Edge with AMD processor. Ubuntu 11.10 (64-bit)
  If jockey-gtk is used to install the proprietary Broadcom STA driver the BCM43224 Wifi card does not work.

  Typing
  sudo lshw -C network
  shows that the bcma driver is used (rather than the wl driver) - this is why the card does not work.

  There is an easy fix by editing a conf file:
  sudo gedit /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
  and add "blacklist bcma"

  Then reboot.
