Public bug reported:
As opposed to open-source software, proprietary software has the USP
that newer versions are not always better. 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.
