Public bug reported: This bug duplicate https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bcmwl/+bug/1379524 but it marked expired.
Symptoms same - on my notebook HP Pavilion p170nr with BCM43142 chip has very low and unstable wi-fi signal. I even can't work from far room because of permanent disconnects and very low speed. Windows 8 in same place work fine also all phones. Also connection frequency disappear. Disconnects don't depend on signal level. Connection may break even near router and hi (relative) signal. I changed router but this didn't help. I don't know if it help, but I get this message in dmesg log [29218.308151] ------------[ cut here ]------------ [29218.308177] WARNING: CPU: 2 PID: 524 at /build/buildd/linux-3.19.0/net/wireless/sme.c:800 cfg80211_roamed+0x91/0xa0 [cfg80211]() [29218.308179] Modules linked in: rfcomm bnep binfmt_misc bbswitch(OE) nls_iso8859_1 intel_rapl iosf_mbi hp_wmi sparse_keymap x86_pkg_temp_thermal intel_powerclamp snd_hda_codec_realtek snd_hda_codec_hdmi snd_hda_codec_generic wl(POE) snd_hda_intel snd_hda_controller coretemp kvm_intel snd_hda_codec snd_hwdep btusb kvm snd_pcm uvcvideo crct10dif_pclmul snd_seq_midi snd_seq_midi_event bluetooth snd_rawmidi crc32_pclmul videobuf2_vmalloc snd_seq videobuf2_memops videobuf2_core ghash_clmulni_intel v4l2_common aesni_intel videodev media aes_x86_64 lrw gf128mul glue_helper snd_seq_device ablk_helper snd_timer dm_multipath cryptd scsi_dh i915 snd cfg80211 soundcore hp_accel joydev serio_raw lis3lv02d input_polldev shpchp drm_kms_helper hp_wireless mei_me wmi drm video i2c_algo_bit mei intel_smartconnect lpc_ich [29218.308208] mac_hid ip6t_REJECT nf_reject_ipv6 nf_log_ipv6 xt_hl ip6t_rt nf_conntrack_ipv6 nf_defrag_ipv6 ipt_REJECT nf_reject_ipv4 nf_log_ipv4 nf_log_common xt_LOG xt_limit xt_tcpudp xt_addrtype nf_conntrack_ipv4 nf_defrag_ipv4 xt_conntrack ip6table_filter ip6_tables nf_conntrack_netbios_ns nf_conntrack_broadcast nf_nat_ftp nf_nat nf_conntrack_ftp nf_conntrack iptable_filter parport_pc ppdev ip_tables x_tables lp parport autofs4 hid_generic usbhid hid psmouse ahci r8169 libahci mii [29218.308231] CPU: 2 PID: 524 Comm: wl_event_handle Tainted: P W OE 3.19.0-16-generic #16-Ubuntu [29218.308232] Hardware name: Hewlett-Packard HP Pavilion 15 Notebook PC /2281, BIOS F.12 08/18/2014 [29218.308233] ffffffffc0478a78 ffff8801d55c3da8 ffffffff817c2235 0000000000000007 [29218.308236] 0000000000000000 ffff8801d55c3de8 ffffffff8107595a ffff8801d23c9078 [29218.308238] ffff8801d26bb000 ffff8801d4a52b40 000000000000009f ffff8801c5b74b40 [29218.308240] Call Trace: [29218.308246] [<ffffffff817c2235>] dump_stack+0x45/0x57 [29218.308250] [<ffffffff8107595a>] warn_slowpath_common+0x8a/0xc0 [29218.308252] [<ffffffff81075a4a>] warn_slowpath_null+0x1a/0x20 [29218.308260] [<ffffffffc0454a81>] cfg80211_roamed+0x91/0xa0 [cfg80211] [29218.308290] [<ffffffffc0a0b9fb>] wl_notify_roaming_status+0xcb/0x150 [wl] [29218.308312] [<ffffffffc0a0875a>] wl_event_handler+0x6a/0x230 [wl] [29218.308333] [<ffffffffc0a086f0>] ?
