Amazing that after one year, this bug has not been fixed. I just had
this problem affect me. I have two laptops, both of which worked fine
for a very long time, over two years. Then I upgraded my wireless
router, and suddenly DHCP stopped working, it would timeout. I read the
instructions here about disabling the Broadcam driver and forcing the
use of the brcmsmac driver instead, and both laptops work again. Seems
like the wl driver should not be the default driver for ubuntu, or else
it should be easier to switch between drivers.
