Just a personal update. I've been using a manually patched version of the i386 driver for several months, but I only use up to 0014-null-pointer-crash.patch. I currently have the trusty 3.13.0.-63.103-lowlatency kernel on a dell 1558 and the BCM4315. I haven't seen another null pointer crash since I applied the patch, but have suffered random loss of wifi synchronisation, sometimes after a day or so, but other times every hour or even less.
I didn't expect to see a difference, but I thought it was worth saying that I successfully applied the just-released wily package bcmwl-kernel- source_6.30.223.248+bdcom-0ubuntu4.1_i386.deb to my trusty system. The build was clean (logged "using CFG80211 API") and the driver loads without a problem. I haven't been using it long enough to say whether it is better, but it is definitely no worse! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1415880 Title: 14e4:4365 bcmwl-kernel source: fix for null pointer crash To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/dell-sputnik/+bug/1415880/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
