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 update in this driver? In any case, jt's solved in 12.10. That's good news! I'd like to help investigate if there is a way to backport this fix in 12.04, because it's a LTS. I suppose I could test with an upstream or backported kernel. Which version should I test? https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds ? Another one? ** Changed in: linux (Ubuntu) Status: Incomplete => Confirmed -- 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
