Errr, not really. Can you provide me a sosreport from your system (possibly before and after that behaviour) ? My e-mail is ina...@ubuntu.com. You can share a dropbox link or something like it though e-mail, or even here if that is okay for you.
1) If what you saying is correct (that this PPA caused that behaviour) than I expect you to remove the package (apt-get remove --purge bcmwl-kernel- source) and then remove the ppa (add-apt-repository -r ppa:inaddy/lp1415880) and then install package from -updates repository (sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source). Having installed the previous version you can run sosreport right after you reboot your notebook (after suspend caused it to freeze). This way I can check previous kern logs for something. 2) Right after that I'd like you to install the PPA and the package again (sudo add-apt-repository ppa:inaddy/lp1415880 && sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source) and, right after suspend, run sosreport again (this time, since the notebook does not freeze, you won't need a reboot after suspend).

Adding the patch is a fairly simple process: * put the patch file in /usr/src/bcmwl-6.30.223.248+bdcom/patches * add the following line to /usr/src/bcmwl-6.30.223.248+bdcom/dkms.conf PATCH[7]="0014-null-pointer-crash.patch" * run: /usr/lib/dkms/common.postinst bcmwl 6.30.223.248+bdcom /usr/share/bcmwl x86_64 $(uname -r) This has fixed the issue for me. Edit: I just wanted to add that I did not write the patch; I merely downloaded it from a paste that was linked from the respective AUR package.
