I'll add one more report. I have bcmwl-kernel-source 6.30.223.248 (Ubuntu 12.04). Under the previous version of bcmwl, I had occasional dropouts but it was never extremely severe. After 6.30.223.248 was pushed out in an update on September 3, my wifi performance has degraded to an almost completely unusable level. It seems that the last driver update was flawed.

I am now sitting 2 meters from the wifi router and it's fine. When I take my laptop back into my workroom, wifi connectivity will essentially disappear.

I don't have this problem with any other device.
