I see on 2014-05-13 it says:

"This bug was fixed in the package bcmwl - 6.30.223.141+bdcom-0ubuntu3"

Why wasn't the updated package, from 9 months ago, included in 14.04.2's
install? That would have fixed the issue easily.

For anyone having this problem, rather than do code editing and
compiling and everything mentioned above, you can grab the bcmwl-kernel-
source package for Utopic (14.10) from here:

http://packages.ubuntu.com/utopic/bcmwl-kernel-source

Download the amd64 or i386 version, whichever you need, and install it
(note: you will still need dkms installed on your system to install it).
I just double-clicked it and let Ubuntu Software Centre do the install.
That got my wireless interface on and working as expected.

Can we get the updated package put into the Trusty repositories, or have
the Utopic one added to the backports?
