Public bug reported:

System: 12.10
Kernel: 3.5.0.22
Wired lan: Artheos AR8162
Wireless lan: Broadcom BCM4313 (driver: Broadcom STA)
Lenovo G580

If I want to use the wired lan, I have to install linux-backports-cw
package, but then the WLAN stops working. Removing the backports
package, I won't have wired lan, but the WLAN works again. So my guess
is backports package has compatibility problems with the broadcom
drivers.

Packages tried:
linux-backports-modules-cw-3.6-quantal-generic 
linux-backports-modules-cw-3.6-3.5.0-22-generic

How I find I need linux backports for wired lan: 
http://askubuntu.com/questions/205582/how-do-i-get-an-atheros-ar8162-working
How I find solution for lack of wireless: 
http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=1610246

So I have a "hacky" solution, every time I want to use wired lan, I install the 
backports package, then remove if I want to use WLAN, but I need a permanent 
solution. 
I searched trough askubuntu and ubuntuforums, but no one had this 0/1 - 1/0 
exact problem, as me. Btw. when first installed Ubuntu on this machine, 
3.5.0.17 had no such problems, it started with 0.21.
