Many months ago, I moved to using kernels compiled from Git, and the new
brcmsmac driver has worked well for me lately. I'm currently using Linus'
3.3 kernel, but it has been working well for long enough that I suspect the
fix is in Ubuntu 12.04 as well. However I haven't tested this, as I still
use 11.10 on my laptop (except for the kernel).

OK, I'll do that, then, since it works well for me using the mainline
kernel.
