Dear Maintainer,

Sorry if there is any missing information in this bug report. I don't report
bugs often, please let me know if I should include the output of any other
commands.

For the past few months, I've constantly been having problems with my WiFi
disconnecting, or being unable to connect to certain hotspots, or being unable
to connect if I had manually disconnected from a hotspot. The only thing that
helps is rebooting, sometimes twice. This also happens after suspending my
laptop.

I have the same hardware and the same problem. IMO, this bug should be
reassigned to broadcom-sta-dkms package, which generates the wl.ko driver.

Attached are the commands which Ritesh gave above. Also, in case it
matters, my laptop is the Dell XPS 13 9343.
