[Bug 1487524] Re: 14e4:43ba Broadcom BCM43602 not seeing 5Ghz range

 

Ubuntu 15.10 with the firmware 1.149 package:

~$ lspci | grep Network
         04:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM43602 802.11ac Wireless LAN SoC (rev 01)

~$ dpkg -l | grep firmware
         ii  linux-firmware                                              1.149 

I can see that the device supports 5 GHz, but it still can't see any 5
GHz networks.
