If you are using this WIFI card, beware that *bcmwf-kernel-source* does perform very badly with a newer version
of the *bcmwf-kernel-source* 6.30.223.248-bdcom-0ubuntuXX (XX I have tried them all and all are not working)

Desripction of what is happening:

You are connnected to a network (does not matter on the router config or router) and when you are at signal level cca 55% and less the internet drops and you are offline (still connected but no packets get in or out) for a long period of time (restarting card works for a few moments when the drop occurs again)

*bcmwf-kernel-source* 6.30.223.141 works as it should, but I am stuck in kernel 3.13 as I want to go kernel 3.19 and I can't because I have to use newer bcmwf and it is unstable, very much.

Update: I switch from ubuntu to Manjaro, using kernel 4.2.2

Huray I am not doomed to be using older kernel such as 3.13 forever.

Here are some additional information aboud neworking card

Further update,

The issue remains, I didn't notice it because in Arch linux the driver had better performance and from my AP distance I was kinda OK, however when I have moved for a few metters the signal drops to ~55% and the issue persisted in kernel 4.2.

It is driver issue though
