Public bug reported: bcmwl-kernel-source driver on a BCM43142 card has a slow wifi connection with a high latency, while the device works properly on Microsoft windows. The result is that browsing is slow and online games lag. Pinging the router also reports a much higher latency than that of other devices (>70 ms instead of about ~1,5-2 ms).
