[Joseph Arata <josephrarata@xxxxxxxxx>]

I can confirm this bug with any version of Ubuntu with this specific
driver source.  I've been trying to fight with this for the last 2 weeks
trying to get it to work since the new kernel versions support multi-
monitor on 2 different GPUs without making your distro unusable.

A temporary fix for now if you can afford to use kernel 3.13.063 is to
use the bcmwl-kernel-source_6.30.223.141+bdcom-0ubuntu2 driver source as
it is the most current stable version that just works with the BCM4360
without issue.

Title:
  BCM4360 bcmwl-kernel-source System Freeze every few Seconds

Status in bcmwl package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  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.
