[Bug 1438524] [NEW] Instability with Broadcom Corporation BCM4352 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter [14e4:43b1] (rev 03) Ubuntu Trusty 14.04.2

 

Public bug reported:

Wifi is completly unstable. After reboot there is no way for me to use
it.

$ rfkill list
0: phy0: Wireless LAN
	Soft blocked: no
	Hard blocked: no
1: brcmwl-0: Wireless LAN
	Soft blocked: no
	Hard blocked: YES
3: hci0: Bluetooth
	Soft blocked: no
	Hard blocked: no

The card is always locked.

The only way to make it work I found by accident when the system goes to
sleep and comes back up it magically is available.

This workaround only worked in kernel 3.16.0-33-generic and not in the
generic 3.13

I reported more info in the forums but had no response:
