I also had problem with the current wl driver. I got the log shown below when booting.
root@lp123:~# uname -a Linux lp123 3.8.0-26-generic #38-Ubuntu SMP Mon Jun 17 21:43:33 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux root@lp123:~# lspci | grep Broadcom 03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation Device 43b1 (rev 03) I downloaded and compiled the 6_30_223_95 driver and it was built correctly. But to get it to work I had to copy it to another directory than that the "make install" command installed it. cp wl.ko /lib/modules/3.8.0-26-generic/updates/dkms/ After a reboot it worked to connect to the 2.4GHz network. I don't see my 5GHz network and no bluetooth icon in the top bar. I hope this info will help to get this fix it. kern.log ----------- Jul 7 20:29:46 lp123 kernel: [ 3.825251] wl: module license 'MIXED/Proprietary' taints kernel.
