Bug Description
[Impact]
* A lot of machines that came out in the past year have a version of wireless that
requires this driver. Anyone with these machines will not be able to run Ubuntu
presently
* This is solely a newer driver that requires newer hardware
[Test Case]
* Acquire a machine that has one of the affected cards, eg Vostro 470
* Install Ubuntu 12.04
* Observe WiFi is non functional
[Regression Potential]
* Low, this is an update to a proprietary driver provided by Broadcom
* This has no impact for machines that don't have Broadcom wireless
[Original Description]
New devices are coming out that necessitate a new driver version for bcmwl. We would like to get these into 12.04 so that we don't lose support for these devices.
