[Bug 856314] Re: very slow internet connection with brcmsmac driver

2014-04-27 Thread N0M4D
For me none of the other drivers are working, so I'm stuck with brcmsmac. Have been using it for hours now and suddenly I started getting very slow DL speeds (~70KB/s). On Ubuntu 14.04 LTS and 3.13.0-24-generic kernel. So, confirming the issue still persists for newer kernels. -- You received thi

I have this problem, or at least something very similar. I get low signal strength and speeds with brcmsmac. I also have a broadcom 4313. The wl driver works perfectly. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launc

Interestingly, even the proprietary "wl" driver seems to have this issue, randomly. With this driver, what is sure and deterministic, is the fact that activating power management decreases the throughput to ~150KB/s. But sometimes, after a reboot and even without activating pm, the throughput drop

Until drivers in the kernel are fixed, you can use this workaround to get fast wireless speeds on secured and/or unsecured wifi. 1. Add the following two lines at the end of your /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf file blacklist bcma blacklist brcmsmac 2. Install proprietary Broadcom STA wireless

Posted #7 little too fast. The good news is only partial. On SECURED (WPA/WPA2) wireless the 3.0.0-13 kernel works great but on UNSECURED connection wireless is still very slow (56k or so). Could someone confirm this behavior? Also, could someone check WEP secure connection too? -- You receiv

Good news, the kernel 3.0.0-13 released yesterday/today fixed the slow wireless connection problem. Bad news, on Acer Aspire One 522 the computer freezes just like it did under Natty, the same fix as before "In BIOS, simply listing network boot before HDD boot DOES solve the networking issue on

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream kernel? It will allow additional upstream developers to examine the issue. Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the release candidate kernel versus the daily build. Once you've tested the upstream kernel, plea

I'm having what may be a related problem. I frequently can't connect with my broadcom 4313, and when connected the internet essentially doesn't work. This also did not occur on previous Ubuntu versions or on a Windows install. I think this qualifies as a high-priority issue, as it's a total show-
