[Bug 1320610] Re: no wifi with kernel 3.15.0-1.3 when using bcm 4309

 

volker kempter, thank you for taking the time to report this bug and trying to help make Ubuntu better. However, the mainline kernel 3.15-rc5 is not software package provided by the official Ubuntu repositories. As per https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds#Kernel.2BAC8-FAQ.2BAC8-DebuggingMainlineBuildsSupport.Does_the_kernel_team_support_the_mainline_kernel_builds.3F :
>"The mainline kernels builds are produced for debugging purposes and therefore come with no support. Use them at your own risk."

Because of this the Ubuntu project can not support or fix your
particular bug. Please report this bug to the provider of the software
package -> www.kernel.org . Thanks!

Title:
  no wifi with kernel 3.15.0-1.3 when using bcm 4309

Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  no wifi with kernel 3.15.0-1.3 when using bcm 4309:

  this is when using kernel 3.15.0-1.3 in lubuntu-14.04 trusty and bcm 4309 (driver b43).
  This problem does not occur when using kernel 3.15.0-1.3 with bcm 4312 (driver bcm-kernelsource) (neither for lubuntu 14.04 nor 14.10). 

  This problem does also not occur when using instead kernel 3.14 in
  lubuntu-14.04 or 14.10 (i.e. wifi works with bcm 4309 and 4312).

  I suppose it is not a problem with the kernel 3.15, but the driver b43
  may need some adaption.
