This is the same with 12.04.3. Not only is the restricted broadcom driver needless, but gives me weaker signal than the brcmsmac driver. Also, when uninstallling the wl module from jockey, the blacklist generated by said module is not removed, so that wireless does not work AT ALL until its is deleted manually.
