Finally some good news. Broadcom seems to have fixed the Freeze bug in
their latest driver version 6.30.223.271. Unfortunately, there's no
Ubuntu package yet, but there's a Debian package. You just have to purge
and hide bcmwl-kernel-source for good in synaptic or via dpkg or apt and
install broadcom-sta-dkms.
# sudo apt-get install broadcom-sta-dkms
Works perfectly on Ubuntu 16.04 amd64 with Kernel 4.4.0-24-generic and
broadcom-sta-dkms (6.30.223.271)
The only nuisance is that with every Kernel Update you'll have to
reinstall broadcom-sta-dkms for the new kernel. We will just have to
wait until Ubuntu uses the Broadcom 6.30.223.271 driver in bcmwl-kernel-
source ...
So for now it's finally fixed!!!
** Changed in: bcmwl (Ubuntu)
Status: Confirmed => Fix Committed
