I have an HP DM4 laptop running Ubuntu 13.04 (although i've noticed this on 12.04 and 12.10). When I am connected to the WiFi at home none of my housemates are able to get decent connection. They can connect but not use the internet. I've noticed it a number of other places including hotspots in motels etc.



It's not a problem for me but I am becoming increasingly unpopular at home!!



I have the Broadcom STA Wireless driver installed and am using it.



Let me know if I can give any more useful information.



Thanks

    Alternatively, you can type sudo sh -c "echo 'brcmsmac' >> /etc/modules" in a terminal to do this in one go.
