Pretty much each time the kernel gets updated in Karmic I have to re-
install (sudo apt-get install --reinstall bcmwl-kernel-source) the bcmwl
driver since the dkms rebuild doesn't seem to actually work correctly
(even though it appears to succeed).
Recently the nvidia driver was changed to use the same smart buildd
detection system as bcmwl-kernel-source:
nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 (185.18.36-0ubuntu5) karmic; urgency=low
* debian/upstream_info:
- Treat lpia as i386 so as to fix FTBFS.
* debian/nvidia-185-kernel-source.postinst:
- Re-use the smart buildd detection system that we already use in the
bcmwl-kernel-source package so as to allow pre-compiled modules when
the nvidia driver is included in a customised image. The old behaviour
is preserved in any other case.
* debian/control, debian/control.in, debian.binary/control.template:
- Set arch to lpia for every package.

But then the nvidia driver started to fail to install in a similar way (See bug
#450493) and was fixed recently with a comment about uninitialized variables in
the build:
nvidia-graphics-drivers-180 (185.18.36-0ubuntu6) karmic; urgency=low
* debian/nvidia-185-kernel-source.postinst:
- There were bugs of undefined variables in the smart buildd detection
scripts. These should be upstream DKMS anyway, so reference them
from there (LP: #450493)

So I wonder if there are similar problems with the bcmwl-kernel-source dkms
smart buildd system as well which is causing this bug?
