12.04 - Wifi problem on Ubuntu 14.04

I have problem with drivers on my laptop. My wifi adapter is Broadcom BCM4313 802.11bgn Wireless Network Adapter


I am on Ubuntu 14.04 LTS, and my kernel is : 3.13.0-40-generic


I was trying three different drivers drivers:


wl - working fine, but not compatible with all routers, so sometimes I cannot connect to wifi network, especialy when wifi network is in b/g/n mixed mode or only in n mode. So I cannot use "full speed" of internet connection.


brcmsmac - compatible with all routers, I can connect to all wifi networks. But internet connection is totally lagged, sometimes I have to wait more than a minute for loading a webpage. It is not possible to use it. (it is interesting that ping output is good)


bcma - Unable to connect to any wifi network, it doesnt work for me


What do you suggest to me? Thank you.
