Hi Chenna, I also experienced the same problem and have reported it as well, that's why I keep receiving updates via the bug's mailing-list. I finally manged to solve the problem by doing the 2 simple steps below:
1. completely remove the problematic bcmwl-kernel packages: open terminal and run - - - sudo apt-get purge bcmwl-kernel-source broadcom-sta-common broadcom-sta-source - - - 2. download and install the latest, fixed .deb bcmwl-kernel packages download the right version from here (depending on having 32 or 64 bit architecture) http://packages.ubuntu.com/raring/bcmwl-kernel-source when download finished open and install the .deb file with Ubuntu Software Center 3. problem solved: no more crashes and error messages & wifi works like a charm. Sorry if the above is of no help to you, thought i'd drop a line or two to tell how I got it to work myself.

P SRU request: [Impact] * As a result of this bug, bcmwl-kernel-source will fail to build the module against linux-generic-lts-raring in Ubuntu 12.04. [Test Case] * Enable the precise-proposed repository and install bcmwl-kernel- source (6.20.155.1+bdcom-0ubuntu0.0.2). * Install linux-generic-lts-raring * If the package installs without errors from DKMS with both the linux-generic and lts-raring kernels, then the patches work correctly. [Regression Potential] * The patches that I backported from 13.10 will preserve the current driver behaviour on linux-generic (3.2) and linux-generic-lts-quantal (3.5), thanks to the use of specific macros in the code which check the kernel version. As a result, no regressions of any kind can be expected on these kernels.
