I installed yesterday evening

linux-image-4.5.0-040500rc7-generic_4.5.0-040500rc7.201603061830_amd64.deb
linux-headers-4.5.0-040500rc7-generic_4.5.0-040500rc7.201603061830_amd64.deb

and left the laptop on during the night (without suspending) and in the
morning was still not frozen. Usually with the 4.2 kernel it would have
frozen over night and it have frozen during this morning, but with the
4.5.0-040500rc7 the laptop did not freeze yet.

However, with 4.5.0-040500rc7 I cannot use the proprietary bcmwl driver
for my wireless card and the software update does not work properly and
while installing the above linux headers package it complained about
missing dependencies, howver it did install it.

So I am keen to try a lower version kernel, like v4.4.5-wily hoping that
it will still work (no freezes), but t the same time that I may be able
perhaps with it to also use the proprietary bcmwl driver and I will
hopefully get no software update problems a I get now with
4.5.0-040500rc7.
