Hi, I encountered the same dkms build issue reported in this LP bug.
The following patch fixes the issue described in the bug: https://github.com/longsleep/bcmwl- ubuntu/blob/master/debian/patches/0015-add-support-for-Linux-3.18.patch However, you also have the option of NOT using the broadcom-sta-dkms package and instead use the bcmwl-kernel-source package. That package already has the patches to make the "same" broadcom driver work with linux kernels up to 4.x. The patches are available here: https://github.com/longsleep/bcmwl-ubuntu/tree/master/debian/patches Output showing successfull installation of WL driver using the bcmwl- kernel-source package: --snip-- Selecting previously unselected package bcmwl-kernel-source.
