[Bug 1119842] Re: Broadcom 802.11ac [14e4:43b1]: wireless doesn't work after bcmwl-kernel-source installed, suspend/resume/shutdown failure

 

I did a fresh install of Ubuntu 13.10

bcmwl-kernel-source does prevent my system (Gateway MX6454 with
14e4:4311) from shutting down, suspend/restart, and reboot.

Only after removing bcmwl-kernel-source, and installing
firmware-b43-installer, does my system properly work.

Bug description:
  This laptop has a Broadcom 802.11ac chip with a pci signature of
  [14e4:43b1]. When I install the bcmwl-kernel-source (as suggested by
  "Software Sources", suspend/resume no longer works and the laptop
  hangs when I try to shut it down. And to add insult to injury, my
  wireless card still doesn't work.
