Hello, I'm able to compile old driver bcmwl-6.20.155.1+bdcom with patches for 3.10 kernel (bcmwl-6.30.223.30+bdcom)
Required changes are: 0008-add-support-for-linux-3.9.0.patch : replace wl_cfg80211_hybrid.c with wl_cfg80211.c 0009-add-support-for-linux-3.10.0.patch Add in dkms.conf: PATCH[7]="0008-add-support-for-linux-3.9.0.patch" PATCH[8]="0009-add-support-for-linux-3.10.0.patch" And rebuild module with dkms: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/DKMS Could you test if the problem with BCM4331 connection gone with old bcmwl driver and 3.10 kernel? -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to bcmwl in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1189611 Title: bcmwl-kernel-source 6.30.223.30+bdcom-0ubuntu1 fails to see 5GHz networks and is unstable on 2.5GHz Status in “bcmwl” package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: Hardware: Broadcom Corporation BCM4331 802.11a/b/g/n (rev 02) This chip is working perfectly fine on 2.5GHz and 5GHz using version 6.20.155.1+bdcom-0ubuntu6 of the driver. After upgrading to saucy and installing version 6.30.223.30+bdcom- 0ubuntu1 it fails to find any 5GHz networks and connections on 2.5GHz are unstable. Downgrading the saucy machine to kernel 3.8.x and bcmwl-kernel-source 6.20.155.1+bdcom-0ubuntu6 (both from raring) makes the chip work again. Downgrading just the kernel to 3.8 and keeping bcmwl-kernel-source at version 6.30.223.30+bdcom-0ubuntu1 does NOT fix the issue. Looking at the changelog its most likely caused by the update to the new upstream release.
