This is possibly a duplicate of bug 732677. Despite the bug description, a few people with BCM4312 chips seem to be suffering from that.

[Scott D Howard (scottdhoward)]

Yeah, i noticed that. Well, 64 bit has treated me very good so far so I am
actually blessed to of had the problem the more I look at it. Thanks

Sorry, I just noticed the logs show this is definitely a duplicate...

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. This particular bug has already been reported and is a duplicate of bug 776439, so it is being marked as such. Please look at the other bug report to see if there is any missing information that you can provide, or to see if there is a workaround for the bug. Additionally, any further discussion regarding the bug should occur in the other report. Feel free to continue to report any other bugs you may find.

Hello everyone,

I just want to share with everyone that I am going to start using my
Twitter again. I want to try using Twitter again to stay better connected
to friends who prefer not to use Facebook. I plan on keeping my Twitter
page public so you will not need a Twitter account to view my public page.
You will only need to go to the correct website page. If you have a Twitter
account and you want to follow me that is fine too. In order for my new
system to accomplish what I want it to I will probably only follow people
who I am not connected to already on Facebook. My approach could change if
it does not work out well. I hope to stay better connected to friends who
have internet but that don't want to have a Facebook account. Please click
on the following link I have listed below and add my Twitter page as a
bookmark/favorite. If you use Twitter consider following me and feel free
to give me feedback. For those of you that don't use social media please
remember you don't need a Twitter account to view my Twitter page.

I hope you have a great week. I praise God for all He is doing in lives
around the world.
