Bug description:
  SRU request:

  Please accept jockey_0.9.7-0ubuntu7.15 into precise-proposed.

  [Impact]

  Kernel versions higher than 3.8 fail to rebind the Broadcom device to
  the driver thus compromising system stability. While rebinding is a
  nice feature it can't come at the cost of system stability. For this
  reason we'll disable this feature when dealing with Linux >= 3.8 and
  preserve it in the other cases.

  [Test Case]

  Install and reboot into Linux 3.8 or higher (linux-lts-saucy or linux-
  lts-trusty), then use Jockey to install the broadcom wireless driver.
  Jockey will hang and the system will probably hang on shutdown.

  [Regression Potential]

  It should be minimal i.e. there won't be device rebinding on the
  livecd. This, however, shouldn't be an issue since the open broadcom
  driver should already work out of the box.

  Furthermore the test suite now covers this test case.


  == Description ==

  CID: 201303-13027 Dell Inspiron 5535
  CID: 201012-6925 Dell Latitude E6320
  CID: 201208-11536 Dell Latitude 6430u

  Affected chipsets:
  Broadcom 4365
  Broadcom 4313 [14e4:4727] (rev 01)
  Broadcom 43132

  The bcmwl (6.20.155.1+bdcom-0ubuntu0.0.2) cannot be installed on
  12.04.4 (3.11.0-15), 12.04.3 (3.8.0-29)

  Steps:
  1. Install Ubuntu 12.04.3 (or 12.04.4) + update
  2. Boot to desktop
  3. Install the Broadcom STA wireless driver via jockey-gtk

  Driver cannot be installed, jockey-gtk will stuck at "Downloading and installing driver"
  The last message from jockey.jog is:
  unbind/rebind on driver /sys/module/wl/drivers/pci:wl: device 0000:02:00.0

  Error message could be found in dmesg:
