[Bug 1509614] Re: Wireless BCM43602 802.11ac 5 GHz not scanable on linux-firmware 1.1.49 - MacBook Pro 11, 5

 

Berg Lloyd-Haig, it is best to leave it as the linux package, given that
the support in the firmware is already provided, and no evidence has
been discussed noting this is confirmed a firmware issue, and not a
kernel or other one.

Despite this, could you please advise to the manufacturer and firmware
version of the wireless access point you are trying to connect to?

** Package changed: linux-firmware (Ubuntu) => linux (Ubuntu)

** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu)
       Status: Confirmed => Incomplete

  What I expect to happen:
  I expect to be able to scan 5 GHz channels and connect to them using the BCM43602 chipset in a MacBook Pro 11,5.
  
  What happened:
- Accoring to https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux-firmware/+bug/1487524 the support was added, I found I can see the 5 GHz capabilities, but I am unable to connect to a working 5 GHz access point. My firmware files match those mentioned in 1487524 in /lib/firmware/brcm.
- 
- ~$ lspci | grep Network
-          04:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM43602 802.11ac Wireless LAN SoC (rev 01)
- 
- I can see that the device supports 5 GHz, but it still can't see any 5
- GHz networks.
+ I can see the 5 GHz SSIDs, but I am unable to connect to a working 5 GHz access point.
