Title:
bcmwl-kernel-source 6.30.223.30+bdcom-0ubuntu1 fails to see 5GHz
networks and is unstable on 2.5GHz
Status in “bcmwl” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Hardware: Broadcom Corporation BCM4331 802.11a/b/g/n (rev 02)
This chip is working perfectly fine on 2.5GHz and 5GHz using version
6.20.155.1+bdcom-0ubuntu6 of the driver.
After upgrading to saucy and installing version 6.30.223.30+bdcom-
0ubuntu1 it fails to find any 5GHz networks and connections on 2.5GHz
are unstable.
Downgrading the saucy machine to kernel 3.8.x and bcmwl-kernel-source
6.20.155.1+bdcom-0ubuntu6 (both from raring) makes the chip work
again.
Downgrading just the kernel to 3.8 and keeping bcmwl-kernel-source at
version 6.30.223.30+bdcom-0ubuntu1 does NOT fix the issue.
Looking at the changelog its most likely caused by the update to the
new upstream release.
