I upgraded my dell laptop to 13.10 ubuntu-studio about 2 weeks ago, which uses kernel 3.11.0-15.8-lowlatency.
I just assumed that dkms was building and using my locally-patched driver. I have just checked and discovered I was mistaken... it is using the distro package bcmwl-kernel-source version 6.30.223.141+bdcom- 0ubuntu1. I can see 0001-MODULE_LICENSE.patch still defines a Mixed/Proprietary License, so it seems someone has altered the GPL kernel source restrictions. My thanks to whoever did that! It has released quite a few users from having to maintain their own dkms source. As far as I am concerned, this bug can be marked as fixed in 13.10. Good news!
