Hi all,
I'm just having issues with the Broadcom wireless card (BCM 43142) on Debian 8.
Just installed KDE Debian a few days ago on a Sony vaio flip 14 laptop and followed the instructions at
https://wiki.debian.org/wl
to install what's needed to load the wl module with no errors reported. I strictly followed all the steps in there and I've included
the non-free repository, headers, etc.
Although wl was able to detect and connect to my wireless connection, everything stalls
about a second or two afterwards. Then I have a few pings every two or 10 seconds, ~80% packet lost, nothing more, and occasionally the connection drops.
Browsing is not possible as every time I'm able to connect I only have a second or two worth of traffic.
I've read the previous post on this. I'm running the Debian 8 stable 3.17 (I believe, I can do uname -a once I have the computer with me)
I can provide the output of lspci but I'm sure I have BCM43142 rev1.
EDIT: eth0 works just fine, the issue involves wireless connectivity.
Thank you in advance! Great community here!
