Fredrik Kempe, thank you for taking the time to report this bug and
trying to help make Ubuntu better. However, the mainline kernel is not a
software package provided by the official Ubuntu repositories. For more
on support boundaries of the mainline kernel, please see
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds#Does_the_kernel_team_support_the_mainline_kernel_builds.3F
. Because of this the Ubuntu project can not support or fix your
particular bug. You are welcome to contact Broadcom directly about your
problem as outlined in
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#Broadcom_STA_Wireless_driver
. Thanks!
