Public bug reported:
Hi,
a few months ago a software update was available like every few days. A
kernel update was included. But when I rebooted my laptop, WLAN didn't
work anymore.
The only way to continue using it I figured out is to use linux-image-
extra-3.5.0-17-generic or older (linux-image-extra-3.5.0-16-generic,
linux-image-extra-3.5.0-15-generic, you know what I mean). So the
problem starts with linux-image-extra-3.5.0-18-generic and isn't solved
so far (linux-image-3.5.0-21-generic).
First I thought it will be detected by someone else, but because it's
now existing for 4 updates I know I have to report it.
I'm using Ubuntu 12.10 64 bit:
$ lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 12.10
Release: 12.10
My network modules:
$ lspci |grep -i net
00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation 82577LC Gigabit Network
Connection (rev 05)
45:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless
LAN Controller (rev 01)
I'm using a proprietary driver for it (the only option excepting not to use
it). This is what the graphical interface for additional drivers says:
Broadcom 802.11 Linux STA wireless driver source von¹ bcmwl-kernel-source
werden verwendet (Proprietär)²
¹ "von": German for "from"
² "werden verwendet (Proprietär)": German for "are used (proprietary)"
Connecting the laptop to the internet using a lan cable works, but then there
is no fix (like a new driver (i ran apt-get update)) available.
Connecting it to the internet using WLAN works with kernel linux-image-
extra-3.5.0-17-generic or older.
