I haven't had any signal strength issues, so it might not be related. I am aware that this driver still doesn't have the power saving modes implemented, which just makes it insane that they've included it as the default driver for this hardware.
I"m still suffering with it - but hope someone decides to take some action to replace it with a more appropriate driver or gets around to implementing power management for a release in the near future. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/867869 Title: brcmsmac wireless driver does not have power management enabled and is eating batteries To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/867869/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
