This bug is about bcmwl, not about open-source vs closed-source policy decisions. BTW, the bcmwl driver is the *only* working driver for many chipsets, so whether the bug is reported in connection with a chipset supported by other driver IS IRRELEVANT. bcmwl has bugs that need to be fixed.

For this one we have a patch that solves the unnecessary syslog spamming AS WELL AS the ioctl() problem that prevents using tools such as iwconfig without sudo.

As such, this bug is not only triaged, but a fix is known (see post #18) and just needs to be applied to the default ubuntu-released packages.
