Public bug reported:
My WiFi card based on BCM4306 chip is still not working properly. During
upgrade from Edgy to Fiesty it was recognized and I was informed about
extracting microcode from chip. Everything went smoothly and WiFi status
led started to blink. Unfortunately I'm not able to connect or find any
Wireless network. I really think this problem should be worked out. I
know that there is no Broadcom driver and it is all reverse engineering,
but this chip is very popular and it would be nice if everything worked
straight out of the box.
