[Bug 1451789] Re: bcmwl causes system freeze

 

Some additional comments:

My machine is a Dell XPS 13 using the BCM 4360 chip.  The driver works
perfectly fine with my Linksys wireless router (b/g mode).  When I
connect to my TP-Link router, however, authentication works fine, but
sending and receiving additional packets nearly instantly freezes my
machine (with Caps Lock flashing).  Suffice to say that all other
devices in my house connect just fine to the TP-Link router.

I'd be happy to provide additional information, but I don't know how to
supply any post-mortem data.
