Comment 11 for bug 1408385

Please, can't we just remove this STA driver from Ubuntu. IMO, it is not worth the effort and it is pulling resources from other issues/bugs that can actually be fixed. This STA driver has been a problem because Broadcom does not want to work with open source. The resolution of incompatibilities since ubuntu 10.04 (when I became aware of it) have changed and been broken and fixed so many times. If a user must use this hardware, the ndis_wrapper will make the hardware functional, at less than full capacity, but at least it does not break other things. Let's work on more productive issues. Also mark as no longer applicable all references to the STA driver. I have never gotten the STA driver to actually work for more than a couple hours anyway on any release of Ubuntu.

For me, I replaced these on both my laptops with intel cards just to get away from this awful piece of hardware.

$0.02, YMMV
