Finally some good news. Broadcom seems to have fixed the Freeze bug in
their latest driver version 6.30.223.271. Unfortunately, there's no
Ubuntu package yet, but there's a Debian package. You just have to purge
and hide bcmwl-kernel-source for good in synaptic or via dpkg or apt and
install
Still no change sadly.
I just did a dist upgrade from 14.04 to 16.04. Still the same,
6.30.223.248 installs fine, but as soon as the wl module is loaded, the
freezes come back.
But now I really have a Problem - I can't install the last working
version (6.30.223.141+bdcom-0ubuntu2) on 16.04 and
I can't confirm that it works with any newer version than 6.30.223.141
+bdcom-0ubuntu2. I just tested: bcmwl-kernel-source: 6.30.223.248+bdcom-
0ubuntu0.2 and 3.13.0-83-generic kernel - still no change.

I can confirm that with a newer kernel and bcmwl-kernel-source the
problem has been resolved for me. As of now: bcmwl-kernel-source:
6.30.223.248+bdcom-0ubuntu0.2 and 3.13.0-83-generic.

Title:
BCM4360
I can confirm this bug with any version of Ubuntu with this specific
driver source. I've been trying to fight with this for the last 2 weeks
trying to get it to work since the new kernel versions support multi-
monitor on 2 different GPUs without making your distro unusable.
A temporary fix for
Same bug for me as well with the BCM4360 Chipset and Broadcom
6.30.223.248 bcmwl kernel source.
As soon as I turn wifi off, the freezing stops.

Same here. Connecting to Linksys router everything works fine,
connecting to TP-Link router nearly instant freeze post authentication.
When the machine freezes, Caps Lock is flashing, and there is no way to
recover (as the machine has no wired connection).

Thx, good to know that it's not just me. I've read there are the same
issues with that chipset/driver on other Linux Distros (ArchLinux). As
it's a proprietary driver adressing this issue might take some time.
I've sent an email in reference to this bugreport to broadcom (linux
wlan client
I'm experiencing a similar issue with the same chipset: only when
connected to certain networks, the OS randomly freezes and then I'm
forced to do an hard reboot.
The issue appears to be present in Ubuntu 14.04, 14.10 and 15.04.
