Package: broadcom-sta-dkms Version: 6.30.223.141-1 Severity: important After putting up with issues from the brcmsmac driver, I decided to give the proprietary driver a go. The (wl) driver seems to work just as well as the brcmsmac driver on the prior packaged 3.12 kernel, but is more or less unusable with the 3.13 kernel.
I cold booted with 3.13-1 and was able to authenticate and associate with the access point. Some initial traffic flew across the wire, but then the card appeared to lock up while the tools were unaware of the issue. Connections began to time out while the software thought the connection to the AP was still active: I was unable to even ping the gateway. The following was logged in the kernel log shortly after booting.
