Indeed, https://www.freedesktop.org/software/systemd/man/systemd.net-
naming-scheme.html b1 seems to stand for "Broadcom bus (BCMA) core
number"
So it seems to me that our stock vanilla kernel has gained support for
this broadcom wifi chip with proper Broadcom bus support.
Yet we also have some other implementation that claims to support the
same chip, and then doesn't quite work the same way.
I guess wl & bcmwl-kernel-source should not be both declaring support
for the same chip? Such that user is not receiving one or the other, at
random, or switching between the two, just because they ask installer to
enable Nvidia.

Bug description:
ISO testing 20.04 daily 20200314. On the Live desktop I connect to
wifi. When I click the install icon, and choose to install 3rd party
(leaving download while installing checked), the wifi disconnects.
I rebooted and tried again to make sure it wasn't something random.
(It happened exactly the same.).
This is an older Dell E5420 laptop with Broadcom BCM4313 wireless
card. (Today's Lubuntu had a wifi-related problem too. I couldn't
connect to wifi upon reboot after install. I had to reboot a 2nd time
for it to work. I reported that to their Discourse forum, not reported
as a bug yet.).
I apologize that I don't know the package or pid to report this for.
