Nehal Mistry, would you need a backport to a release prior to 15.04, or
may this be closed as Status Invalid?

Title:
  14e4:4320 "Install third party software" during install installs wl
  for BCM4306 when it's not supported

Status in bcmwl package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  I was installing Xubuntu 14.04. It said 'Configuring bcmwl-kernel-
  source amd64)' and in the details "DKMS: install completed." and it
  just froze there. To continue installation I had to open up a terminal
  and execute  'sudo killall -9 modprobe' due to the wl module being
  installed when it doesn't support my 4306 card. I had to add it to the
  module blacklist.

  WORKAROUND: During the installation, do not select "Install third
  party software".

  lspci -vvnn | grep -A 9 Network
