Capabilities: <access denied>
Kernel driver in use: wl
Kernel modules: wl, bcma
Originally, the device was working very well with the brcmsmac free module. Now
it is working with the wl restricted (unnecessary) module, provided by the
bcmwl-kernel-source package.
Software-properties (nor Jockey) should not suggest to install the
bcmwl-kernel-source package for this device.

Title:
Unnecessary restricted driver suggested
Status in “jockey” package in Ubuntu:
New
Status in “software-properties” package in Ubuntu:
New
Bug description:
Additional Drivers tab in software-properties suggests me to install a
restricted driver as if it would be the only way to have my Wifi working. But
this is erroneous, my Wifi is really working very well with no restricted
drivers installed.
This fault was also in jockey in previous Ubuntu releases.
