Additional Drivers tab in software-properties suggests me to install a restricted driver as if it would be the only way to have my Wifi working. But this is erroneous, my Wifi is really working very well with no restricted drivers installed.
This fault was also in jockey in previous Ubuntu releases.

Originally, the device was working very well with the brcmsmac free module. Now it is working with the wl restricted (unnecessary) module, provided by the bcmwl-kernel-source package.
Software-properties (nor Jockey) should not suggest to install the bcmwl-kernel-source package for this device.
