I tested a recompiled brcmsmac module with the patch mentioned above : not better. I also tried to add the patch from https://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/linville/wireless-testing.git;a=commit;h=edc7651f3a4ffa7fca37d92401562694121512ad : not better. I had a further look at the

OK. Thanks Christopher. Regarding a potential backport, it certainly does not come from an updated firmware : the firmware files /lib/firmware/brcm/bcm43xx-0.fw and /lib/firmware/brcm/bcm43xx_hdr-0.fw are the same when used with both kernels on my machine. So it comes from an update in the

In fact, I suppose recompiling the module brcmsmac should be enough, instead of the whole kernel -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/931168 Title: 14e4:4727 brcm80211 Wifi driver : cannot

Yes, I would like to keep my netbook with 12.04.x LTS if possible. In any case, it's not just a question of me. If I understood correctly, the kernel for 12.04.x LTS will be upgraded to improve hardware support in the future (because it's a LTS). IMHO, this could be a fix that might be included

This issue seems to be solved in 12.10 Quantal beta 1. I ran it with a live USB : wifi on channel 13 is detected and ubuntu connects successfully to it. iw reg get = 00 iwlist wlan0 channel = all 13 channels It's using the same brcmsmac driver as in 12.04.1, so I suppose it might come from an

Mossroy, glad to hear it is fixed for you in Quantal. Did you personally need a backport to Precise or an earlier release, or may we close this as Status Invalid? ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Confirmed = Incomplete -- You received this bug notification because you are a member

Christopher, The tests were made on Precise with all updates (12.04.1). I just reinstalled the netbook with Precise, because wifi did not work any more after the ndiswrapper test (maybe I did something wrong in the uninstall process). Anyway, I won't have the time to run the tests on Quantal for
