I don't know whether update-initramfs was necessary, but it certainly didn't do any harm!

The low-latency dmesg now shows the wl and cfg80211 modules are being loaded, but there is a problem:

[ 24.624284] wl: module license 'MIXED/Proprietary' taints kernel.
[ 24.624290] Disabling lock debugging due to kernel taint
[ 24.626241] wl: Unknown symbol rcu_read_unlock_special (err 0)

The unlnown symbol is the same as in the warning I noticed in the dkms install log, so it is important after all...

Also, once the system has booted lsmod does not show the wl module any more, and the eth1 interface does not exist.

I will do some research on that symbol in the bcmwl patch.
