I'm having some issue with internet access. I've got a Samsung laptop with a Broadcom wireless card and Ubuntu 12.04 on it. Everything worked fine at the beginning, but recently, probably after some kernel update, I noticed that I don't receive any packets for few seconds. When I tried to look what's wrong I noticed I can't access to router (some cheap TP Link), even ping is failing. Router is ok, because I am able to access it from other devices, and even from my laptop from Windows. But this disconnecting is very annoying. Anyone has the same issue? Where can be the problem?

  • What encryption (if any) are you using to connect to the router? Also, please run the command lspci -v in a terminal and add the last section, which will say Network Controller at the top, to your question. – Aaron Hill Feb 10 '13 at 13:36
  • @Aaron I use only WEP. Problem is, I can access the Internet. Furthermore, when I use nmap to scan devices in LAN, it shows them properly, with router exception (because it acts as a gateway?). I'm updating question with lspci -v output. – kubuscmg Feb 10 '13 at 14:29
  • It seems that this problem has been encountered(and solved) before. Try the solution posted at http://askubuntu.com/questions/250858/broadcom-wireless-bcm4313-on-12-04-lts/250896#250896 – Aaron Hill Feb 10 '13 at 14:34
