Title:
  14e4:4331 Broadcom BCM4331 unusable with Raring kernel 3.8.0-19

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I'm using a MacBookPro 8.1 with BCM4331 and it's linux driver b43.
  After upgrading to Ubuntu Raring with kernel 3.8.0-19 my wirless network device is nearly unusable.

  List of issues:
  - After suspend the wireless network connection doesn't go online again. The known network isn't found without changing the distance to the wireless network router.
  - Sometimes after reboot the wireless network connection doesn't go online without changing the distance or place
  - iwlist scanning shows only 25% or less of all physical available networks. Wireless network performance is bad.

  I'm using the old kernel 3.5.0-27 from Quantal Quetzal again and the
  wirless network is working fine again. None of the issues above are
  present.
