For the record, I've a MacBook Pro 8,1 using broadcom 4331 chip. I find the bcmwl 6.30 driver consistently unreliable, packets just stop sending randomly and only solution is module unload & reload. I've had much more success (not perfect tho, but 99% reliable) with the older 6.20 driver.
I spent a little time forward porting 6.20 to vivid kernel (3.19). If you're curious, you can give it a go here: http://people.canonical.com/~gerboland/bcmwl-kernel-source_6.20.155.1+bdcom-1ubuntu0_amd64.deb I am back to my 99% reliable wifi as a result. If it helps you, do let me know! -G P.S. the package version is older than the vivid supplied one, so you'll need to pin (apt-mark hold) it to prevent it being upgraded. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1387199 Title: 14e4:4331 [MacBookPro8,1] broadcom-sta kernel crashes To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bcmwl/+bug/1387199/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
