I just compared the current version (6.20.155.1) of bcmwl-kernel-source against the 5.100.82.112 version of the driver from quantal (downloaded from http://packages.ubuntu.com/raring/amd64/bcmwl-kernel- source/download)
Experimental setup was as follows: Computer A: BCM4313 on Windows pinging off-site machine Computer B: BCM4313 Linux box pinging same off-site machine Prior to activating computer B's wifi, computer A had no ping timeouts in five minutes. After activating wifi on computer B with the 6.x driver, computer A had several ping timeouts within 1 minute. Upon shutting off wifi on computer B, computer A had no ping timeouts. This behavior has already been established by posts above, but is confirmed on my machine. Then I installed the 5.x version of the driver using `dpkg -i` and repeated the experiment. As before prior to activating wifi on machine B, there were no ping timeouts on computer A. I turn on computer B's wifi and started pinging. Computer A had NO ping timeouts within three minutes. Then I started watching a video on YouTube. Computer A's ping times increased slightly (competing for bandwidth). After five minutes, only ONE ping timeout on computer A occurred. So it would appear something changed between the 5.100.82.112 and 6.20.155.1 version of the drivers. Because I have a nice setup here and there were seven commits between these driver versions so I can probably debug this. Prior to me doing this though, can someone else check that they receive no interference with the 5.100.82.112 version of the driver.
