Andre... thank you very much for letting me know about the patch. I have applied it because I have been suffering from occasional random loss of connectivity to my own wifi routers.
I have not yet encountered another router that triggers the original crash that I reported in this particular bug, so I am unable to test it fully. However, I hope it fixes the loss of connection problems at home. I will report my experiences against your bug after a few days of testing. -- 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/1360783 Title: 14e4:4315 [Dell Studio 1558] Broadcom wifi crash in bcmwl-kernel- source cfg80211 Status in bcmwl package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: 1) lsb_release -rd Description: Ubuntu 14.04.1 LTS Release: 14.04 2) apt-cache policy bcmwl-kernel-source bcmwl-kernel-source: Installed: 6.30.223.141+bdcom-0ubuntu2 Candidate: 6.30.223.141+bdcom-0ubuntu2 Version table: *** 6.30.223.141+bdcom-0ubuntu2 0 500 http://ubuntu.mirror.serversaustralia.com.au/ubuntu/ trusty/restricted i386 Packages 100 /var/lib/dpkg/status uname -a Linux bacchus 3.13.0-37-lowlatency #64-Ubuntu SMP PREEMPT Mon Sep 22 22:00:49 UTC 2014 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux 3) What is expected to happen with my Dell Studio 1558 is that when using wifi hotspots away from home, it works without problem. 4) What happens instead is that the the system never makes a connection, and there is a crash in syslog: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bcmwl/+bug/1360783/+attachment/4185818/+files/wifi-crash-westHants-syslog-extract The system is resuming after suspend.
