This bug is due to the way the driver checks permissions.  It has a
global check for CAP_NET_ADMIN, instead of an ioctl by ioctl based check
ala mac80211.

So, you *can* run the above operations, you just need to use "sudo".
Eg.

$ sudo iwconfig


** Changed in: bcmwl (Ubuntu)
       Status: New => Confirmed
