I was disappointed to find there was no activity on this problem for a week. It is hard to believe no-one knows of a circumvention.
I've not been able to use the wireless adapter ever since I "upgraded" my laptop to 13.04, and will need to use it tomorrow but will not have access to an ethernet link...
Fortunately, I am using ubuntu studio. It uses the low-latency kernel, but I had forgotten the distro also installs and maintains the generic kernel. I rebooted with 3.8.0-26-generic and was very happy to discover the dkms source compiled cleanly. The machine is running fine on wifi with the generic kernel.
So what is it about the low-latency kernel headers that is different to generic, and also breaks the compile of bcmwl-kernel-source? Surely it isn't necessary?
