I tested a recompiled brcmsmac module with the patch mentioned above : not better. I also tried to add the patch from https://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-testing.git;a=commit;h=edc7651f3a4ffa7fca37d92401562694121512ad : not better. I had a further look at the changelog.

In fact, I suppose recompiling the module brcmsmac should be enough, instead of the whole kernel -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/931168 Title: 14e4:4727 brcm80211 Wifi driver : cannot

OK. Thanks Christopher. Regarding a potential backport, it certainly does not come from an updated firmware : the firmware files /lib/firmware/brcm/bcm43xx-0.fw and /lib/firmware/brcm/bcm43xx_hdr-0.fw are the same when used with both kernels on my machine. So it comes from an update in the driver

Mossroy, thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. However, I am closing it because the bug has been fixed in the latest development version of Ubuntu - Quantal Quetzal. This is a significant bug in Ubuntu. If you need a fix for the bug in previous version

Yes, I would like to keep my netbook with 12.04.x LTS if possible. In any case, it's not just a question of me. If I understood correctly, the kernel for 12.04.x LTS will be upgraded to improve hardware support in the future (because it's a LTS). IMHO, this could be a fix that might be included in

Mossroy, glad to hear it is fixed for you in Quantal. Did you personally need a backport to Precise or an earlier release, or may we close this as Status Invalid? ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed => Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member o

This issue seems to be solved in 12.10 Quantal beta 1. I ran it with a live USB : wifi on channel 13 is detected and ubuntu connects successfully to it. iw reg get => 00 iwlist wlan0 channel => all 13 channels It's using the same brcmsmac driver as in 12.04.1, so I suppose it might come from an u

Christopher, The tests were made on Precise with all updates (12.04.1). I just reinstalled the netbook with Precise, because wifi did not work any more after the ndiswrapper test (maybe I did something wrong in the uninstall process). Anyway, I won't have the time to run the tests on Quantal for
