  BCM4306 not working

Bug description:
  My WiFi card based on BCM4306 chip is still not working properly.
  During upgrade from Edgy to Fiesty it was recognized and I was
  informed about extracting microcode from chip. Everything went
  smoothly and WiFi status led started to blink. Unfortunately I'm not
  able to connect or find any Wireless network.  I really think this
  problem should be worked out. I know that there is no Broadcom driver
  and it is all reverse engineering, but this chip is very popular and
  it would be nice if everything worked straight out of the box.
