Ubuntu 13.04 // Lenovo B590 MBX29GE/627429G // WLAN and ACPI Issues/Bugs!?

Tue Apr 16 11:31:50 UTC 2013

Dear community,

I've got the notebook mentioned above. I've installed Ubuntu 13.04 (latest
updates, kernel 3.8.0-18) on this machine and got several issues:

1.) The most anyoing one (Broadcom BMC 43142):

I can't work on console due to the spamming of the following message all
two seconds:

ERROR @wl_cfg80211_get_station : Could not get rssi (-1)
ERROR @wl_cfg80211_get_station : Could not get rate (-1)

I don't know if it's a known bug in this combination. The issue is common
known on other hardware configs.

dmesg | grep broadcom

--> Wrong Chip

WLAN is working ... But not in fullspeed and the datarate is a bit
weak/random.
