bcmwl-kernel-source 6.30.223.248+bdcom-0ubuntu0.1: bcmwl kernel module failed to build [error: ‘STATION_INFO_TX_BITRATE’ undeclared]

Occurred during update process.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Naturally, after the failed build, Wifi does not work. Rebooting with the previous kernel (3.19.0-68-generic #76~14.04.1-Ubuntu) restores Wifi

After a bit of googling, I found someone suggesting that kernel build errors may be due to using an old version of gcc. This sounded good, so I installed gcc-4.9 as per

http://askubuntu.com/questions/466651/how-do-i-use-the-latest-gcc-on-ubuntu

Next I uninstalled and re-installed bcmwl-kernel-source. It took a while to build the module, but after that booting using kernel 4.4 brought back Wifi.

I followed Guy Begin's advice (thanks!) and I can confirm that it does solve the issue for me.
The issue persisted through at least two kernel updates. Currently running:

Linux hermes 4.4.0-38-generic #57~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Tue Sep 6 17:20:43 UTC 2016 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

The Updater could not complete successfully. The reason was that a problem was encountered. This comprehensive report the problem is the result. I cannot understand the technical details of this report. I trust that UBUNTU Technical team can fix it for me.

Thank you

I have noticed that fraudsters have been hacking into my files. They mave managed to break into my google drive and android device manager. Please examine and fix.

Thank you
