getaceres, could you please test the latest upstream kernel available from the very top line at the top of the page (the release names are irrelevant for testing, and please do not test the daily folder) following https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue.
If the test did not allow you to test to the issue (ex. you couldn't boot into the OS) please make a comment in your report about this, and continue to test the next most recent kernel version until you can test to the issue. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, please comment on which kernel version specifically you tested. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tags: kernel-fixed-upstream kernel-fixed-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER where VERSION-NUMBER is the version number of the kernel you tested exactly shown as: kernel-fixed-upstream-3.18 This can be done by clicking on the yellow circle with a black pencil icon next to the word Tags located at the bottom of the bug description. If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the following tags: kernel-bug-exists-upstream kernel-bug-exists-upstream-VERSION-NUMBER Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug's Status as Confirmed. Please let us know your results. Thank you for your understanding. ** Tags added: trusty ** Summary changed: - Broadcom Wifi connection gets cut when downloading files + 14e4:4727 [HP Pavilion dv6-6151es Entertainment Notebook PC] Broadcom Wifi connection gets cut when downloading files ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Importance: Low => High ** Tags added: latest-bios-f.17 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to linux in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1395520 Title: 14e4:4727 [HP Pavilion dv6-6151es Entertainment Notebook PC] Broadcom Wifi connection gets cut when downloading files Status in linux package in Ubuntu: Incomplete Bug description: Similar to but 1312358, the connection gets cut everytime I'm downloading a big file or a group of big files.
