I have experienced this problem on my HP6460b laptop with a Broadcom
Corporation BCM4313. In my case the wireless connection is attempted but
an IP address is not obtained by DHCP. One workaround is to add static
IP information for the problem network. Blacklisting wl and enabling
brcmsmac, by editing files in blacklist.d, allows DHCP to work.
The easier solution is to remove the bcmwl-kernel-source package:
sudo apt-get remove --purge bcmwl-kernel-source
** Changed in: bcmwl (Ubuntu)
Status: Opinion => Confirmed
