Bug Description
"Restricted Drivers Manager" aka "Hardware Drivers" in Ubuntu Hardy doesn't suggest installing firmware for bcm43xx cards. It says "No proprietary drivers are in use on this system".
As a consequence, I cannot connect to any wireless network since proper firmware doesn't exist on system.
In Ubuntu Gutsy, the card was correctly detected and installing missing firmware was hassle-free. Now, I have to use bcm43xx-cutter manually to configure my wireless card.

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. Please answer these questions:
* Are you using jockey-gtk or jockey-kde?
* Is the broadcom card shown in the main window of jockey?
This will help us to find and resolve the problem.
