Description:
I'm using an old laptop with an even older wifi card.
Here is _lspci -k_ for it

I have been using brcmsmac as a driver all the time. But it stopped working for last couple linux 5.4.* kernels(my guess). Not sure about the precise date but laptop been working at the end of january(25-31).
So basically it just stops sending/receiving packets and I'm getting 100% packets lost. Happening every 2 minutes. Restart/driver reload helps temporally only for the next couple minutes.
Changing drivers from brcmsmac to wl(broadcom-wl-dkms) helps to restore internet and stop packets loss. But in a long term perspective, it is unusable(it doesn't see wifi networks).
To make this driver work I need to :
>1. rmmod wl
2. modprobe brcmsmac
3. rmmod brcmsmac
4. modprobe wl
After that I'll see all anetworks.

Did you report upstream already?

Comment:
Send a message to the mailing list. At the same time, is there any way to help me without now? Or should I just wait for upstream devs to respond?

Comment:
Is this still an issue? Most you can do is keep using an older kernel, which carries its own risks.
