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
