[Bug 1445458] [NEW] BCM4360 bcmwl-kernel-source System Freeze every few Seconds

 

Public bug reported:

Every newer version of bcmwl-kernel-source than 6.30.223.141+bdcom-
0ubuntu2 causes complete Freezes on my System every few Seconds.
Removing the wl module restores the system to its normal state.
Compiling the latest version 6.30.223.248 from the Broadcom STA Source
makes no difference as well as using the latest Mainline-Kernel. So some
of the changes between 6.30.223.141 and 6.30.223.248 must be
responsible.

Version 6.30.223.248+bdcom-0ubuntu0.1 installs without any Errors but as
soon as the wl Module is loaded the Freezes occur. Dmesg shows nothing
of note.
