I ran into this problem when running with an upstream kernel - installing above bcmwl-kernel-source disables my WLAN (bug 1385059). Thus I prefer the WLAN and life with the 'System problem detected'-popup upon each startup.

@Aldo Yes, you can fix it even on 14.04. You can download this new package from http://packages.ubuntu.com/vivid/bcmwl-kernel-source and install it directly typing: dpkg -i bcmwl-kernel-source_6.30.223.248 +bdcom-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb and then it should be ok. Package has not any other dependencies therefore there shouldnt be any risk to your system.

A little grepping through the changes for 3.17, and it looks like there are a few simple changes to apply. 1. The nvidia wrapper driver should drop #include from its buildfix_kernel_3.14.patch; was never intended to included directly for external modules 2. There's a small update for the kernel's alloc_netdev() API I have patches for both which I'll upload here. I'm not sure how to update Ubuntu's dkms packages for bcmwl and nvidia-331, so we'll see if the Ubuntu devs will pick this up eventually... -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1358966 Title: bcmwl-kernel-source 6.30.223.248+bdcom-0ubuntu1: bcmwl kernel module failed to build [error: macro "alloc_netdev" requires 4 arguments, but only 3 given] To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bcmwl/+bug/1358966/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs

Sorry, it will usually take time for 3rd party drivers like bcmwl to catch up with the latest kernels.
