Hi,
I've got a Lenovo Thinkpad Edge E135 (from Germany) which came with the
same WiFi-Chip the OP has [1], a BCM4313. I'd like to help debugging so
this chip will finally work properly.
Similary to the OP, the device frequently stalls after some time of use.
On my system [2], this means wpa_supplicant reports an association, but
subsequently no DHCP lease can be obtained. Once this state is reached,
it stays like that. Sometimes unloading the kernel module(s) helps,
sometimes only unload,suspend (S3),load.
Since reading in this thread about bluetooth-issues, I reduced the pain
with the card by disabling bluetooth [5].
I'm still not sure if the error is totally reproducible, I hope so for
debugging.
Please instruct me what/how to generate debug info, apart from [5] and [6].
When responding, please Cc me, I'm not subscribed.
