I had no problem connecting to 2.4 GHz and 5GHz AP up until version 3.12.36 Jan 14 (https://github.com/Hexxeh/rpi-firmware/commits/master) \r\n\r\nAfter moving to 3.18.4 Jan 28 weird things started happening (some good):\r\n1) I can't connect to 5.4 GHz AP\r\n2) iwlist wlan0 scan detects some 5GHz AP (but fewer than version 3.12.36)\r\n3) (The good one): The metrics of signal strength and link quality reported by iwconfig are much closer to values I get by using other devices to measure WiFi signal strength.\r\n\r\nGiven that I see a note kernel on Jan 23 (Update with addtional modules (including brcmfmac wifi driver popcornmix) I suspect that something happened between 3.12.36 and 3.18.4 that messed up the WiFi drivers.\r\n\r\nI am using an ASUS N-53 dongle.\r\n\r\nIt's great that the new drivers report far more accurate metrics, but not being able to connect to certain AP (that I could earlier) is a big problem.\r\n\r\nIf you need more information for troubleshooting please let me know.\r\n\r\nThanks,\r\nPanos\r\n\r\nP.S.
