Public bug reported:
A rather weird way to try the bug, but **I think it affects quantal** as
well (as system.h doesn't exist anymore) -- that's why I'm reporting it
as a bug.
I installed the latest ubuntu 3.4.4 on ubuntu 12.04 (from kernel mainline ppa)
and the package bcmwl-kernel-source from ubuntu quantal repositories:
$ apt-cache policy bcmwl-kernel-source
bcmwl-kernel-source:
Installed: 5.100.82.112+bdcom-0ubuntu1
Candidate: 5.100.82.112+bdcom-0ubuntu1
Version table:
*** 5.100.82.112+bdcom-0ubuntu1 0

This happened when I installed/tried to reconfigure the package:
$ sudo dpkg-reconfigure bcmwl-kernel-source Removing all DKMS Modules
Done.

The solution was to apply a similar patch from comment #6 on bug
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/nvidia-graphics-
drivers/+bug/993506
#if LINUX_VERSION_CODE < KERNEL_VERSION(3, 4, 0)
#include <asm/system.h>
#endif
Again, I believe that this affects normal quantal installations, that's
why I'm reporting it.
