Arch get freeze while wifi on

Hi,

I dont know what to say, My notebook gets freeze(I cant do anything, I have to manually reboot) ~15 sec after it connects to my wifi network (during these 15sec, I can normally use this connection, e.g ping google ;d)

$ lspci | grep Bro
02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetLink BCM57780 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe (rev 01)
03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM43225 802.11b/g/n (rev 01)

I am using kernel drivers "brcm80211" (brcmsmac/brcmfmac )
according to this https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Broadcom_wireless there are other drivers, and I will try them, but I wanted to post about it because this freeze is really unpleasant, and maybe its cause by something else which I wont find out alone ;/

Regards

Please search before posting.  This has been covered many times in the past week or so, and there is a giant thread about the issue floating around here somewhere (with solutions).
