Title:
  14e4:170c Broadcom bcm4401-b0 network card no longer functional

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  This actually happedned when I did an upgrade to 3.2.0-36-generic
  about a week ago.  The network card was working fine until I rebooted
  after the update.  Now to get internet access on this machine I have
  had to use a pcmcia network card.  It appears though I have been
  unable to confirm this, that the bcmlw update blacklisted all broadcom
  drivers.
