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.
Cheers,
T

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.
