[Bug 1256158] Re: BCM4360 High packet loss at 5GHz
FYI, I have downloaded and compiled the latest Broadcom 64 bit STA driver (wl), 6.30.223.248 (from http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php) also available on The Utopic Unicorn since last monday. The problem persists. Because I would not have proper support for the rest of my hardware, I have not tried downgrading my kernel to 3.11, wich is the last version mentioned in the README file, but that may be worth trying. Also, I would be a good idea to test with WEP and with encryption turned off, to try to isolate this issue. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1256158 Title: BCM4360 High packet loss at 5GHz To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bcmwl/+bug/1256158/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1256158] Re: BCM4360 High packet loss at 5GHz
I am seeing this same problem on a late 2013 retina macbook pro (11,1) running Debian (jessie/sid) with Linux 3.14.13-2 (same BCM4360 chipset). I am using the Broadcom driver from the Ubuntu repos, bcmwl-kernel- source 6.30.223.141+b I do not see any different behaviour between 5GHz or 2.4GHz. Tried both on different APs. Maybe the title should be changed. I also ruled out intereference, the driver reports a steady signal level and link quality values when this happens, plus other stations in the network work perfectly fine, including other identical Macbook Pros running OSX. As James pointed out, reloading the driver solves the problem, until it occurs again. As a side note, I also tried the Windows XP Drivers under ndiswrapper (bcmwl5 version 6.30.223.228 obtained from the ASUS PCE-AC68 driver setup) and it behaves in a surprisingly similar fashion. From 0 to 100 packet lost at random. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1256158 Title: BCM4360 High packet loss at 5GHz To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bcmwl/+bug/1256158/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 1256158] Re: BCM4360 High packet loss at 5GHz
I am experiencing this as well; same macbook pro (11,1) as Julien. I experience many occurrences of this in /var/log/syslog: ERROR @wl_cfg80211_get_station : Wrong Mac address Eventually, the card disassociates, and fails repeatedly to reconnect to the AP. Sometimes it succeeds, but will fail again soon after (the driver remains in a bad state). I have a very rough workaround, reloading the wl module, but it's time-consuming and is no real fix. After running this, the card reassociates on its first try, then works well until the problem re-occurs. This indicates to me that it's a problem in the driver, not something to do with any state on the card. sudo service network-manager stop sudo pkill wpa_supplicant sudo rmmod wl sudo modprobe wl sudo service network-manager restart -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1256158 Title: BCM4360 High packet loss at 5GHz To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bcmwl/+bug/1256158/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

This also affects me on a late 2013 retina macbook pro (11,1) running under 13.10 (same BCM4360 chipset). I've tried both with the original 3.11 and with 3.13 (from mainline kernel ppa). -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1256158 Title: BCM4360 High packet loss at 5GHz To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bcmwl/+bug/1256158/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
