Don't use any devices with a Broadcom Wi-Fi chipset.
- merb 9y agowhich basically means don't use any wifi. I think at least 60% of all wi-fi chipsets are broadcom ones.
- cpncrunch 9y agoAnd who's to say another chipset won't have a similar issue?
- gruez 9y agothat seems pretty doable. on phones there's qualcomm chipsets, and on desktops/laptops there's atheros, intel, and realtek (of the vendors i know of).
- simonh 9y agoSo your considered recommendation is for 60% of recently bought device owners globally to all replace their phones, tablets and laptops with devices containing Qualcomm chips, immediately. And this is preferable to a software fix.
- merb 9y agowell on servers/laptops i was always happy to have a intel chip. I once bought a usb stick with intel, which was a complete chunk of garbadge. Well the BCM chips were "mostly" stable, so I didn't had too much problems with them, some chips had problems under linux, but besides that they were ok.
