Title:
  Broadcom STA driver does not work for BCM4313[14e4:4727] with proposed
  kernel 3.2.0-53

Status in “bcmwl” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  [SRU Justification]

  Impact:
  Broadcom BCM4313 does not work with the proprietary driver.

  Step:
  1. Install Ubuntu 12.04.1 -proposed (kernel 3.2.0-52), and boot to desktop
  2. Try to connect to bg/n wireless network.
  3. Install the Broadcom STA wireless driver.
  4. Repeat step 2.
  5. Reboot, and repeat step 2.

  Expected result:
  Wireless network should work after the proprietary driver was installed.

  Actual result:
  Wireless network does not work at all.
