Bug Description

I use a mid-2010 white Macbook 7,1 with Ubuntu Studio 13.04 I use rEFIt to boot between systems, and I go through GRUB to get into Ubuntu Studio.
 Every time I log in, I get a crash report on the module bcmwl-kernel-source, which is a Broadcomm wireless driver. The crashing prevents me from utilizing the machine's wireless capabilities.
