The bug was a regression in Maverick relative to Lucid, but it has been present in every release since Maverick, so at this point it's just a bug that has been around for at least 2 years.
It may not be practical to fix the bug in the bcmwl drivers, but the workaround is only a two-line patch with minimal impact. I have attached the patch that implements the workaround only for wl drivers and retains the same behavior for all others. ** Patch added: "Patch to disable power-saving for wl driver" https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/991232/+attachment/3212388/+files/wl-battery-performance-fix.patch -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/991232 Title: 14e4:432b Regression in wireless performance when on battery power To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/991232/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
