[Po-Hsu Lin <po-hsu.lin@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

More tests:

Steps:
1. Boot to desktop, finish SRU test.
2. Install the newest proprietary driver. (6.20.155.1+bdcom-0ubuntu0.0.1) And test the wireless.
3. Reboot and run SRU test.

Expected Result.
1. Wireless related test cases should failed.
2. The proprietary driver should make it work.
3. Those wireless tests now should pass.

Actual results:
1. Wireless tests failed as expected.
2. Wireless works after the proprietary driver was installed.
3. After the SRU tests, wireless still failed.

Daniel informed me this might be a similar issue to bug 1097519, and bug 1154219
After the driver was downgraded (to 5.100.82.38+bdcom-0ubuntu6)
Wireless works on 201104-7784, but not working on 201105-8050
