[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1379524] Re: Weak wifi signal and bluetooth missing firmware
The signal has improved with the new driver. Network manager now reports 58 to 63 Mb/s under connection info. This is about the same as my Android phone reports.

Sadly the signal is still very bad when moving further away from the router. My Android phone shows 4 out of 5 bars while the laptop only has 1 out of 5 on Ubuntu.

[Kernel-packages] [Bug 1379524] Re: Weak wifi signal and bluetooth missing firmware
I just noticed there is a new version of the Broadcom driver available from their website: 6.30.223.248 I will try to build and test this driver tomorrow and report back. According to the changelog it might fix the problem: Upgraded to support 3.11.x. Readme is here: http://www.broadcom.com/docs/linux_sta/README_6.30.223.248.txt If it fixes the problem, a backport would be great since this version of the driver is currently not in 14.04 which uses kernel 3.13. -- 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/1379524 Title: Weak wifi signal and bluetooth missing firmware Status in “bcmwl” package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: On a fresh install of Ubuntu 14.04 on my new HP Pavilion 15-020ng with Broadcom BCM43142 hybrid wifi/bluetooth chipset the official driver from Broadcom does not work correctly.

Since a few days this does not work anymore. The screen turns off but the laptop does not go into suspension. I haven't changed any settings and also checked the settings in power-manager. Only thing I changed was switching from a proprietary NVIDIA driver to the open source driver because the proprietary driver does not work right on my system. Another guess is that this bug might have something to do with the last update of gnome-power-manager because I haven't noticed this problem before. The update of gnome-power-manager and switching the graphics driver took place at about the same time so I cannot really tell if any of these two actions is connected to this problem.
