Typical linux bugs. 3 years, still no fix nothing But guess what, while I did forgot about this bug by forcing the previous version of the driver, i faced it back today by installing Kubuntu 16.10 where you of course ship the latest, buggy, unfix driver .... What is the purpose of submitting bug report under those conditions ????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? -- 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/1107653 Title: Major regression on Precise....(Fail to install and broke ALL the network) Status in bcmwl package in Ubuntu: Confirmed Bug description: This package poped up saturday on my Kubuntu 12.04 32bit as package to be updated...

PS: is there a way in ubuntu to squeeze update for a given package /hardware? So that once I fixed it/ re-install my computer, coz its likely where it gonna end, I never ever ever ever receive some "update" anymore for this stuff?
