Title:
  Weak wifi signal and frequency disconnects

Status in bcmwl package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  This bug duplicate
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bcmwl/+bug/1379524 but it
  marked expired.

  Symptoms same - on my notebook HP Pavilion p170nr with BCM43142 chip
  has very low and unstable wi-fi signal. I even can't work from far
  room because of permanent disconnects and very low speed. Windows 8 in
  same place work fine also all phones.

  Also connection frequency disappear. Disconnects don't depend on
  signal level. Connection may break even near router and hi (relative)
  signal. I changed router but this didn't help.

  I don't know if it help, but I get this message in dmesg log
