Public bug reported:
In Additional Drivers, install "Broadcom STA wireless driver". This
installs the "wl" kernel module.
However in natty beta 1 I notice the wl module is not being used at all
in network manager Connection Information. Instead it is using module
"brcm80211".
It seems that bcmwl-kernel-source should blacklist module brcm80211 but
doesn't. It already blacklists b43 et al in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-
bcm43.conf. I think bcmwl-kernel-source should also be blacklisting
brcm80211 somewhere in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist*.conf
