Title:
  ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS: can't connect to WIFI - protocol implementation
  problem??

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  After the last updates I can't connect anymore to WIFI networks, including:
   - office wifi (WPA / WPA2 enterprise + PEAP)
   - public wifi from airport lounges, hotels, conferences.

  The notebook (dell inspiron) still detects the available newtorks. If
  they are protected, then additional data are requested (passwords and
  the like). So it seems that the wifi card is working well with the
  current driver (see below for further evidence). However, then the
  connection times out before getting any IP address.

  When I switch to Windows, I immediately get the connection (then the
  wifi network and the notebook's hardware are OK).  Sometimes, when I
  switch back to Ubuntu, the connection starts spontaneously and I can
  work normally (as if the problem were in the DHCP protocol execution,
  and the Windows connection "did some work" that Ubuntu currently can't
  do). (further evidence that the driver is OK).

  I'm using the proprietary driver proposed by Ubuntu:
  "This package contains Broadcom 802.11 Linux STA wireless driver for use with Broadcom's BCM4311-, BCM4312-, BCM4313-, BCM4321-, BCM4322-, BCM43224-, and BCM43225-, BCM43227- and BCM43228-based hardware."

  cat /proc/version_signature:
  Ubuntu 3.2.0-55.85-generic-pae 3.2.51

  sudo lspci -vnvn > lspci-vnvn.log is in the attachment.
