This bug has been fixed in the official Ubuntu packages of bcmwl for some time. Please stick to the official Ubuntu version of the package which does not have the bug (you need version 6.30.223. 248+bdcom- 0ubuntu2) ...
If you don't have ethernet to do a system update, you can download the requisite newer package here using another machine: /launchpad. net/ubuntu/ +source/ bcmwl
