Public bug reported: This actually happedned when I did an upgrade to 3.2.0-36-generic about a week ago. The network card was working fine until I rebooted after the update. Now to get internet access on this machine I have had to use a pcmcia network card. It appears though I have been unable to confirm this, that the bcmlw update blacklisted all broadcom drivers.
