@Eugene San,

Thanks for preparing the package.  I will give it a try -- although I
had already manually patched my driver, and although I'm running 12.04.

One thing I don't understand is what the difference may be between the
version of saucy vs raring vs quantal vs precise. The "core" of the
driver is kernel independent, while the rest of the driver depends on
the kernel version (as we all have painfully experienced :).

But what can possibly be the dependence on the Ubuntu version?

We have now 2 or 3 bcmwl versions available for each Ubuntu release,
causing an enormous number of (duplicate) bug reports which are all
mixed around throughout launchpad. And then we get fixes which only
apply to a specific version (e.g. driver fixed for kernel 3.9 but only
for raring and saucy, but not for precise or quantal). We have ONE
SINGLE driver, which needs patches for each kernel. That's already messy
enough.

Given that we have patches for each kernel from at least 3.2 all the way
(now) to 3.9, it would be nice if there was a single .deb for all
releases. This way we could all focus our efforts in fixing or improving
this one driver.
