Hi Chenna,
Perhaps you are getting a different version of the package than I am?
If I type aptitude show bcmwl-kernel-source it shows me:
Version: 6.20.155.1+bdcom-0ubuntu6
If you see an earlier version then maybe I have more or different
repositories enabled in my /etc/apt/sources.list file. I do have
backports enabled:
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ raring-backports main restricted
universe multiverse
And also updates:
deb http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ raring-updates main restricted
multiverse
I don't actually know where the package I have came from. Also maybe
you need to update your indexes? (aptitude update)
I also didn't mention that I am running Ubuntu 13.04 and a 64 bit
kernel. I hope there is a clue for you there somewhere.
Best regards,
Marty

bcmwl fails to build with 3.8 kernels [error: ‘struct

Bug description:
Upcoming 3.8 kernels have broken this DKMS package.
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.
