Public bug reported:
The broadcom-wl driver have a few issues that have not been corrected in the
ubuntu package.
Supplied with this bugreport is a monolithic patch that addresses some of those.
Summary/testing of patch:
- 2 days of local testing with associate/disassociate/scan between 2
access-points. (same model and running same openwrt version, so might not be a
good test).
- Suspend/resume seems to work (no extensive testing there yet).
- Testing been done on a MBP 11,3 with a BCM4360 card running Ubuntu 15.04 with
kernel 4.1.3 (vanilla)
- Only 4.x changes are new, rest have been in use by several projects
(ubuntu/gentoo/archlinux etc) for some time.
Feel free to split it up into several patches.... This have been a locally
maintained repo that have used several different sources and that's the reason
for the monolithic patch.
One issue that is left is the:
if (WARN_ON(!bss))
return;
in net/wireless/sme.c but this does not seem to cause issues.
** Affects: bcmwl (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
** Patch added: "merged-patches.patch"
