The bcma driver was still a bit rocky upstream in 3.8, if there's a chance you can try a newer kernel that would be great.  Here, the driver associates, but simply doesn't appear to reliably pass any traffic.

It will be a couple of weeks before I can try again with the same computer at the same pub where the problem occurred. I haven't seen the problem since with the same computer.

Comment 5 Peter H. Jones 2013-09-18 01:21:34 UTC
I plan to test next week.

Comment 6 Peter H. Jones 2013-09-24 16:32:55 UTC
Worked fine with NetworkManager-0.9.8.2-1.fc18.i686 and kernel-PAE-3.10.12-100.fc18.i686.

Comment 7 Dan Williams 2013-09-26 18:15:36 UTC
Ok, thanks for the test, I'll close since it's very likely the kernel update fixed things.
