Public bug reported: The bcmwl 6.30.223.141/248/271 driver versions (both vanilla & ubuntu- patched up to .248) hardlock the system (freeze) on vanilla kernel 4.6.0.
Reproducibility: always The freeze seems to be faster with increased network usage (can happen within minutes of a fresh boot). bcmwl-kernel-source works fine on the 4.4.0-22 ubuntu kernel though. Didn't test on 4.4 vanilla or 4.5. ** Affects: bcmwl (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to bcmwl in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1584235 Title: bcmwl 6.30.223.141/248/271 hardlock on ubuntu 16.04 Status in bcmwl package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: The bcmwl 6.30.223.141/248/271 driver versions (both vanilla & ubuntu- patched up to .248) hardlock the system (freeze) on vanilla kernel 4.6.0.
