Daniel, that part may well be what is tested at the other bug, however, this in not the issue of this report. The issue here is that no 2.4GHz is available with kernels, where the bcmwl module DOES build!
These kernels with working wl module at 5GHz, yet failing at 2.4 GHz are now: 3.13.0-52-generic 3.13.0.53-generic 3.16.0-37-generic 3.16.0.38-generic 3.19.0-18-generic My problem is to get the bare necessities working on this f***ing laptop, which came "factory pre-installed" with Ubuntu. How great; so far the worst computer I ever tried Ubuntu on. -- 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/1456585 Title: 14e4:43b1 DELL XPS 13 (9343) Only wireless 5GHz works, but not 2.4GHz Status in bcmwl package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: This laptop came factory preinstalled with Ubuntu 14.04, but it had and still has way too many problems. I have now kernel 3.16.0-37-generic running. The wireless driver is wl, installed from bcmwl-kernel-source. I have wireless working at 5GHz with good speed, everything well. However, I can't connect to wireless on 2.4GHz. Before I had kernel 3.13.0-52-generic, which had the same problem. I tried kernel 4.1.0-rc2 and rc3, but both failed on installing from bcmwl-kernel-source. Trying "iwlist wlan0 freq" I get a list of channels 1-14 at 2.4GHz, and 32-66 at 5GHz. Still, only the 5GHz works. Other devices in my house do connect well to the 2.4GHz (from a Fritzbox router). "iwlist wlan0 scan" has "no scan result" when 5GHz is disabled, and finds one network at 5.18GHz when enabled.
