I was able to successfully build this module in kernel 3.8.0-27 per
comment 29
(https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1173761/comments/29
on 3.11.0-031100rc3-generic).
$ sudo dkms build -m b43b1 -v 6.30.223.95
Kernel preparation unnecessary for this kernel. Skipping...
Building module:
cleaning build area....
make KERNELRELEASE=3.8.0-27-generic....

DKMS: build completed.
However, I could not remove the existing wl module (using "sudo rmmod
wl") because Ubuntu/Linux kept insisting that the wl module was in use.
(This was the case even if I disabled wreless from the BIOS). I even
tried "sudo rmmod --force wl", but it did not work. Nevertheless, I
proceeded to install the new module and it worked after a reboot.
However, I want to point out that this also actually fixed a different
bug in 3.8.0-27! I was unable to shutdown or restart the machine. It
would just hang during the shutdown process. This is the bug:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1176028. After installing
hybrid-v35_64-nodebug-pcoem-6_30_223_95, my computer shutdowns and
restarts normally. I am mentioning this because the wireless fix (or
something included in the fix) may be related to bug 1176028.
Just to confirm everything is workign smoothly, I did a fresh install of
13.04, updated all packages, and then aplied hybrid-v35_64-nodebug-
pcoem-6_30_223_95. Both bugs #1173761 and #1176028 seem to be fixed.
I could only test Wireless 802.11n, since I do not have a 802.1ac
network. Also, I can not verify if the 5Ghz or the 2.4GHz band is being
utilized. Finally, Bluetooth, included with the Broadcom 43b1 device,
still does not work.
