I'm also having problems with ad hoc network with my BCM4313 on my Compaq Presario CQ42. I have tried Brian's workaround and it does not work. I attemtped to make and install the latest Network Manager applet 0.9.1.90 which created GTK2 and GTK3 conflicts so I had to uninstall it. The furthest I got was joining an ad hoc network for 30 seconds and then disconnecting. This happened once only after adding Brian's workaround. Unfortunately I do not know Ubuntu well enough to identify which are open-source drivers and which are restricted. My blacklist.conf file reads:
# replaced by b43 and ssb. blacklist bcm43xx # this is taken from the broadcom-sta-common.conf file # wl module from Broadcom conflicts with ssb # We must blacklist the following modules: blacklist b44 blacklist b43legacy blacklist b43 blacklist brcm80211 blacklist brcmsmac blacklist ssb install wl /sbin/modprobe --ignore-install wl $CMDLINE_OPTS # Brian Teague's fix as per https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/863799 blacklist bcma blacklist brcmsmac blacklist brcmutil And an automated blacklist blacklist-bcm43.conf file has been automatically created: # Warning: This file is autogenerated by bcmwl.
