Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller (rev 01) Current behavior is: WiFi will operate pretty well -- quite stable. Then I suspend the system, move to another WiFi hotspot, and wake the system up. It will see the other hotspot, but keep prompting me for a password which it already has. This happens about half the time... In fact, maybe exactly half the time I wake the system up. I have also seen it happen when the system is shut down and re-started. It will never again authenticate once it gets into this state. Work-around: Hardware reset: shut system down, hold power button while the splash-screen is displayed, until the machine shuts down (about 5 sec.) Then re-start. Voilà, WiFi authenticates and works fine, until the problem occurs again. History: WiFi on this machine has always been problematic. It did not function after a clean install of the system. (For all I know, it was already the inconsistent state problem.) I had to fiddle around a great deal to get it working even this well... Also: The same system running off a stick with Ubuntu 13.04 Beta is *unusably* flaky regarding WiFi. ---------------------------------------------------------- $ lsmod |grep wl wl 2906499 0 cfg80211 175574 1 wl lib80211 14041 2 lib80211_crypt_tkip,wl How can we debug this? (How to look directly at the WiFi hardware state?)
