Nico Schlömer, the context of this report is vague, too general, and is not clear if you actually have hardware affected by this issue. If you want whatever issue you may be having addressed (not someone else on some other forum, with some other hardware) then you would want to do as previously requested of you in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bcmwl/+bug/1289857/comments/2 .

This seems to be the case for the 6.30.223.141 driver which offers considerably worse performance for many users than its predecessor 6.20.155.1. This assumption is based on the reactions <https://plus.google.com/+NickGroenen/posts/HF828QcPK6k> to instructions for a "forthport" of 6.20.155.1 to saucy <https://zoni.nl/posts/2013/11/09/fixing-the-broadcom-bcm4331 -wireless-drivers-on-ubuntu-1310/>. Please continue to provide older BCM packages in the tree to make it easier for users to switch.
