Title:
  bcmwl breaks ethernet controller BCM4401

Status in “bcmwl” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  bcmwl blacklists module b44 in /etc/modprobe/blacklist-bcm43.conf which causes that no driver for ethernet controller broadcom BCM4401 will be loaded.
  Blacklisting module b44 by bcmwl seems unlogical because bcmwl does not offer any driver for bcm4401.

  This issue does not exists while using saucy live cd enviroment, but
  after installing saucy you do not have ethernet connection

  Steps to reproduce: install saucy 13.10
