I am seeing this problem as well (using wl module). from lspci -vvnn: 03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM43225 802.11b/g/n [14e4:4357] (rev 01) By deinstalling bcmwl-kernel-source, the brcmsmac module activates and I can access channel 13. However, the connection seems to drop a lot and (for example) I cannot watch youtube videos. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/462466 Title: Broadcom BCM4322 STA brcm80211 can't see wifi channels 11 (2.462GHz) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mactel-support/+bug/462466/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
[Bug 462466] Re: Broadcom BCM4322 STA brcm80211 can't see wifi channels 11 (2.462GHz)
Hi, I've got a part of solution on ubuntu 12.10: I tweaked the bcmwl-kernel-source_5.100.82.112+bdcom-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb package, containing latest driver source v5.100.82.112 from broadcom, with 80211. Unpack the .deb. On bcmwl-kernel-source_5.100.82.112+bdcom-0ubuntu2_amd64/usr/src/@/dkms.conf, replace, line 6: MAKE[0]=make -C $kernel_source_dir M=$dkms_tree/$PACKAGE_NAME/$PACKAGE_VERSION/build by MAKE[0]=make API=CFG80211 -C $kernel_source_dir M=$dkms_tree/$PACKAGE_NAME/$PACKAGE_VERSION/build On bcmwl-kernel-source_5.100.82.112+bdcom-0ubuntu2_amd64/usr/src/@/patches/0002-Makefile.patch replace: KBUILD_NOPEDANTIC=1 make -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=`pwd` by KBUILD_NOPEDANTIC=1 make API=CFG80211 -C /lib/modules/`uname -r`/build M=`pwd` Adding API=CFG80211 to make's parameters force compiling the driver with 80211 compliance. But i'm now unable to connect to an AP with a channel 11. iw scan eth2 show me only AP fron 1 to 11 channel. Quite annoying in Europe, especially in France who the old regulatory provide only channels 10 to 13 (many AP still exist with this limitation now)... iw reg set JP (iw reg get confirm the reg to JP) works, iw list eth2 return nl80211 not found.

bcmwl-kernel-source has this problem still in Ubuntu 11.10.

[Bug 462466] Re: Broadcom BCM4322 STA brcm80211 can't see wifi channels 11 (2.462GHz)
OK, I think I've found a solution using the latest version of Broadcom STA driver (released 2011-10-25) - http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php Most notable feature in this version is cfg80211 support, which handles country regulations for the driver - http://linuxwireless.org/en/developers/Documentation/cfg80211#Regulatory_support Download the driver package and follow README - http://www.broadcom.com/docs/linux_sta/README.txt - however, there are a few gotchas: - On Ubuntu 11.10 (or with kernel = 3.0.0) to get cfg80211 support you must compile with: make API=CFG80211 - You'll have to rmmod and blacklist brcmsmac (and brcmfmac, eventually) - wl.ko won't be automatically compiled with the next kernel update so your wi-fi stops working; that's what DKMS package solves Now, for channels 12 and 13. Install iw package. iw allows you to change regulatory domain, see http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Documentation/iw#Updating_your_regulatory_domain I've placed iw reg set COUNTRY into my rc.local; regulatory domain can be also injected through wpa_supplicant's COUNTRY variable, but I've not found any option how to pass it through the NetworkManager. Note that this was tested on Ubuntu 11.10, with HP Mini 5103 with BCM4313 - your results may vary. Another option would be to use brcmsmac driver which is a part of kernel since 2.6.39 and use iw reg set for it - however, it caused some strange kernel lags for me, but again, your experience may vary. So, the binary driver has to be updated (anybody for a PPA?) and there should be some user friendly and/or fully automatic way to change the regulatory domain. Linux Wireless mentions GeoClue integration - http://linuxwireless.org/en/developers/Regulatory#Automatic_country_discovery - but this isn't something what bcmwl should care about. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/462466 Title: Broadcom BCM4322 STA brcm80211 can't see wifi channels 11 (2.462GHz) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mactel-support/+bug/462466/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Possibly useful: the version of bcmwl-kernel-source from Ubuntu 10.10, 5.60.48.36+bdcom-0ubuntu5, seems to work in Ubuntu 11.04 and provide access to channel 13. This provides a workaround, at least. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/462466 Title: Broadcom BCM4322 STA brcm80211 can't see wifi channels 11 (2.462GHz) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/mactel-support/+bug/462466/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

I can confirm this with a Macbook5,1 - it worked fine in previous releases but now fails to find my Apple Airport WIFI thingy. Turned out the damn thing was on channel 13.

This is still a problem in Ubuntu 11.04 using either bcmwl 5.100.* or brcm80211.
