I ungraded to 11.04 from 10.10.

While jockey-gtk tells me that I have broadcom sta driver installed, in fact using 'lsmod' I see that both brcm80211 and wl are enabled, and a bug of brcm80211 makes my kernel unstable.

I found the 'postinst' script in the package which add a line 'blacklist brcm80211' to /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-bcm43, but it is NOT called when upgraded
