Title:
  Card  with chipset BCM4360 [14e4:43a0] (rev 03) doesn't see 5Ghz
  networks with high channel number.

Status in bcmwl package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  The card  Broadcom Corporation BCM4360 802.11ac Wireless Network
  Adapter [14e4:43a0] (rev 03) doesn't see 5Ghz networks with an high
  channel number, if you change the channel back to a lower one the
  network will be found again.

  In my case with channel 104 the network wasn't seen by the card, with
  channel 40 it works fine
