I have the 4312-LPHY chipset and the only way for me to get wifi to work
correctly and consistently is to install the bcmwl-kernel-source
package.

With kernel 3.7 and up all versions except "bcmwl-kernel-
source_6.30.223.30+bdcom-0ubuntu1_amd64.deb" gives me a kernel panic.

This made 13.04 unusable for me until I got the workaround to install
the previous mentioned package.

Any other driver combination apart from bcmwl makes my WiFi to
disconnect and ask for authentication every 5 seconds and is thus not
usable.

Not sure if the above is of any significance to what you are proposing
but please don't remove the bcmwl-kernel-source option as an option ;)
