Here are the results of my tests for your proposed workarounds. Unfortunately, none of them worked for me.
Broadcom STA wireless : I did not manage to make it work with your link https://help.ubuntu.com/community/BroadcomSTA%28Wireless%29. But I managed to install it with https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#STA_-_Internet_access : - sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source - activate driver in the additional drivers GUI I checked that driver "wl" was used after connecting to another wifi network I have a slightly different behavior : the wifi network on channel 13 is not detected at all. iw reg get or iw reg set commands fail with a "nl80211 not found' Ndiswrapper : I managed to install it following https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/Ndiswrapper (I had to compile ndiswrapper 1.57 from source). I used the windows driver from http://www.mediafire.com/file/3po0b925r0n1yyl/ I checked that driver "ndiswrapper" was used after connecting to another wifi network I can see my channel 13 wifi network, but cannot connect to it (asking password again and again) iw reg get or iw reg set commands also fail with a "nl80211 not found' I also tried to change the windows .ini, to put FR as the default country, but it did not seem to change anything I checked again with another laptop that my wifi on channel 13 was working correctly. It does work with a iwl3945 driver -- 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 connect to channels>11 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/931168/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
