Bug Description
Hardware: Broadcom Corporation BCM4331 802.11a/b/g/n (rev 02)
This chip is working perfectly fine on 2.5GHz and 5GHz using version 6.20.155.
After upgrading to saucy and installing version 6.30.223.
Downgrading the saucy machine to kernel 3.8.x and bcmwl-kernel-source 6.20.155.
Downgrading just the kernel to 3.8 and keeping bcmwl-kernel-source at version 6.30.223.
Looking at the changelog its most likely caused by the update to the new upstream release.

According to the package description, it doesn't even support the BCM4331 card:
"This package contains Broadcom 802.11 Linux STA wireless driver for use with Broadcom's BCM4311-, BCM4312-, BCM4313-, BCM4321-, BCM4322-, BCM43224-, and BCM43225-, BCM43227- and BCM43228-based hardware."
Assuming that the description is incomplete, do the other drivers work, like the b43 packages, the broadcom-sta packages, or the in-tree driver (which requires uninstalling all the packages)?
