So, I have been using Precise for a while now and with the addition of a laptop to my electronic family, the wireless router is being used regularly. The only issue I have faced with my laptop, Samsung RV409, and with Ubuntu 12.04 is the inability to connect to wifi consistently. I have used this post to find a solution which worked for me.
The solution is to download new drivers from here. A git clone would do the job.
git clone http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git
If git is not available, it can be installed with
sudo apt-get install git.
Next, copy the required stuff to a place where the system can use it.
sudo cp linux-firmware/brcm /lib/firmware/brcm
Lastly, we use a utility called modprobe. Modprobe is used to enable or disable LKMs or loadable Kernel Modules.
sudo modprobe -r wl
sudo modprobe brcmsmac
