Q1: Is this reproducible on your home WiFI network? I have 4 different home wifi routers (different hardware and firmware), and access to a 5th. It does not happen on any of them, which is a pity!
Q2: Does b43 provide a WORKAROUND as outlined in... I regret not having seem that particular page before. Thanks, I will read it carefully in preparation for the next failure. Q3: Did this happen in a prior Ubuntu/wl version? I started using this driver version under ubuntu 13.10. I encountered the same external symptoms, but I had not done sufficient problem determination to know whether the same kernel crash was occurring. In other words, I can't be certain. The crash has certainly occurred with several different releases of the 3.13.0 low-latency kernel. Q4: Which WiFi hotspot would be most convenient for you to do testing on? None, I am sorry to say. All those I can be certain about are more than 10,000 miles away from me at the moment! However, I will look hard for one nearer - I will be travelling over the next few days, so I hope I can find one which is more convenient to test against. Q5: At the most convenient WiFi hotspot, could you please test the later version of wl in Utopic... Yes, but unfortunately I won't have time to download it before I leave. Thanks again, Christopher. I will let you know as soon as I have some new information.
