Hi,

My kernel starting giving out kernel panics on driver version
5.100.82.112 on an HP dm1-4120ss with a BCM4313. So I googled around
for a while, and came across this driver, and installed it during
Christmas.
So I came back home and started getting trouble with my home wireless
router, so I switched it with another one, still getting strange
problems as a lot of signal dropping, packets dropping, signal being a
lot less, a Macbook connecting at 5mbps out of 150 just next to the
router..

And after debugging every component, looking for possible attackers
trying to deauth my devices, and even thinking of buying a new router,
I found out the cause of the problem: whenever the laptop gets
connected to *any* network using this module, both the laptop itself
and any other devices will start having random disconnections and wifi
unreliability.
I reverted to the 5.100.82.112 version and everything worked fine back again.

So, just to note, there seems to be something quite wrong with this
module version on devices it wasn't intended for. For those, just use
the "wl" driver.
