I believe I'm affected by this bug. I'm running Ubuntu 13.04 Raring Ringtail on a Lenovo S10-3 ideapad (netbook) with a 32-bit processor and the Broadcom BCM4313 chipset. I have the bcmwl-kernel-source package installed. For other non-professional users of Ubuntu, to figure out what wireless chipset you have follow the instructions here: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx , and to find out what packages are installed go here: http://askubuntu.com/questions/17823/how-to-list-all-installed-packages .
My computer ignores broadcast ARP requests, which breaks ping and Samba. My troubleshooting process is described here: http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2172373&p=12778960#post12778960 . I'll try the work-around of adding a static ARP entry for all the other computers on my network. I've been running the current release versions of Ubuntu since 2010, and ping and Samba worked until I loaded Ubuntu 13.04 Raring Ringtail. I suppose I got a new version of the driver with the bug in it when I upgraded from Ubuntu 12.10 Quantum Quetzal. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/414724 Title: wl driver (Broadcom) does not receive ARP packets (broadcasts) To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bcmwl/+bug/414724/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
