Hello,
yes, it supports 5 GHz and 2.4GHz and it's a hidden SSID. With your two accesspoint setup, did you try to associate with one AP and turn that off or force the AP desaccociate the client?

About my chipset: I run a Macbook Pro ("rMBP") with the following
broadcom chipset (which is NOT supported by b43):

03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4360 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter (rev 03)
03:00.0 0280: 14e4:43a0 (rev 03)                                                                                                  

I installed the the suspend/resume script, and didn't see a "no traffic"
issue yet, but I have so choose the wifi again in the kde panel after
resume, even I was connected while suspending.

I keep you updated!

rgds,
derjohn

Title:
  bcmwl-kernel-source fixes [Patch]

Status in bcmwl package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  
  The broadcom-wl driver have a few issues that have not been corrected in the ubuntu package.
  Supplied with this bugreport is a monolithic patch that addresses some of those.

  Summary/testing of patch:
  - 2 days of local testing with associate/disassociate/scan between 2 access-points. (same model and running same openwrt version, so might not be a good test).
  - Suspend/resume seems to work (no extensive testing there yet).
  - Testing been done on a MBP 11,3 with a BCM4360 card running Ubuntu 15.04 with kernel 4.1.3 (vanilla)
  - Only 4.x changes are new, rest have been in use by several projects (ubuntu/gentoo/archlinux etc) for some time.

  
  Feel free to split it up into several patches.... This have been a locally maintained repo that have used several different sources and that's the reason for the monolithic patch.

  One issue that is left is the:
          if (WARN_ON(!bss))
                  return;
  in net/wireless/sme.c but this does not seem to cause issues.
