Hey again folks, I've forward ported the 6.20 version of the bcmwl driver to work with Xenial, as I also find 6.30 is unusably unstable on Xenial. I'm just pushing the source here: lp:~gerboland/+junk/bcmwl_kernel_source-6.20/ It's rough & ready, but should work. I will put a pre-built package h

I can concur with Michael's assessment. I've a Macbook Pro 8,1, with broadcom 4331 wifi chip. With raring, wifi was quite stable (I was using b43 then). Doing a clean-install of saucy, my wifi was highly unstable (using wl). I had same instability using b43. I followed Michael's advice and instal
