I'm the one who mostly wrote this tutorial ;-) but don't blame me. The Broadcom wl / STA driver is closed source so there is not much you can do about it. So blame Broadcom :-)

Normally Ubuntu uses most recent STA driver version. You can check that with
"strings `modinfo wl | grep filename | awk '{print $2}'` | grep Broadcom".

What happens if you execute "sudo iwconfig eth2 power off" ?

You can put the latter in /etc/rc.local before "exit 0" (run "gksudo gedit /etc/rc.local") to make it automatically available every startup.
