Bug Description

Wifi is completly unstable. After reboot there is no way for me to use it.

$ rfkill list
0: phy0: Wireless LAN
 Soft blocked: no
 Hard blocked: no
1: brcmwl-0: Wireless LAN
 Soft blocked: no
 Hard blocked: YES
3: hci0: Bluetooth
 Soft blocked: no
 Hard blocked: no

The card is always locked.

The only way to make it work I found by accident when the system goes to sleep and comes back up it magically is available.

This workaround only worked in kernel 3.16.0-33-generic and not in the generic 3.13

I reported more info in the forums but had no response:
