Also affects Lubuntu Utopic Unicorn (and incidentially all other distros with a >=3.16 kernel I've tried). There is a patch on the arch linux wiki that seems to solve the problem (At least all long downloads I started last night have finished successfully). Here is the link to the arch linux bug tracker: https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/broadcom-wl/
And here is the link to the patch: http://pastebin.com/pATazP6K The solution involves the following steps: * copying the patch to /usr/src/bcmwl-$(version)/patches/0020-null-pointer-crash.patch * adding the patch into the /usr/src/bcmwl-$(version)/dkms.conf file (there are other patches referenced, just add it after the last one * running "dkms build bcmwl-$(version) $(uname -r)" (this should re-install the module) * rebooting the system -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1405915 Title: Broadcom sta driver not working correctly on BCM43142 - low signal recieved To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bcmwl/+bug/1405915/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
