I was disappointed to find there was no activity on this problem for a
week. It is hard to believe no-one knows of a circumvention.

I've not been able to use the wireless adapter ever since I "upgraded"
my laptop to 13.04, and will need to use it tomorrow but will not have
access to an ethernet link...

Fortunately, I am using ubuntu studio. It uses the low-latency kernel,
but I had forgotten the distro also installs and maintains the generic
kernel. I rebooted with 3.8.0-26-generic and was very happy to discover
the dkms source compiled cleanly. The machine is running fine on wifi
with the generic kernel.

So what is it about the low-latency kernel headers that is different to
generic, and also breaks the compile of bcmwl-kernel-source? Surely it
isn't necessary?
