[Bug 1206701] [NEW] bcmwl-kernel-source 6.20.155.1+bdcom-0ubuntu6: bcmwl kernel module failed to build

 

Public bug reported:

did a dist-upgrade from 12.04 to 12.10 and than from 12.10 to 13.04
Kernel did not upgrade because of an inconsistency in kernel modules and memtest86+
tried to download the latest kernel modules from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v3.8.10-raring/
copied header modules and kernel modules and generic headers.
did dpkg -i which resulted in compiled modules. Grub failed however with:


 /boot/vmlinuz-3.8.10-030810-generic
Generating grub.cfg ...
run-parts: /etc/kernel/postinst.d/zz-update-grub exited with return code 1
Failed to process /etc/kernel/postinst.d at /var/lib/dpkg/info/linux-image-3.8.10-030810-generic.postinst line 1010.
dpkg: error processing linux-image-3.8.10-030810-generic (--install):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 2
Errors were encountered while processing:
 linux-image-3.8.10-030810-generic

leaving me with a 3.2 kernel.
