Title:
  14e4:43b1 Broadcom Corporation Device 43b1 (rev 03) - not supported

Status in Broadcom Team:
  New
Status in bcmwl package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in broadcom-sta package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in bcmwl source package in Trusty:
  Fix Committed

Bug description:
  Both during and after installation, 13.04 doesn't support the
  Broadcom-based 802.11ac wifi chipsets.  lspci reports it as "Network
  controller: Broadcom Corporation Device 43b1 (rev 03)".

  WORKAROUND: 6_30_223_95 driver in
  http://people.canonical.com/~ypwong/drivers/broadcom/ , install an old
  version: https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/saucy/amd64/bcmwl-kernel-
  source/6.30.223.30+bdcom-0ubuntu3 (found at
  http://gaspuu.blogspot.no/2014/05/dell-precision-m4800-with-ubuntu-
  linux.html), or simply replace the wifi module with another one with
  better driver support (if laptop has no whitelist for modules).
