@Tommy,

I am using 64-bit, and actually am using kernel 3.10 with precise.

Now in the very same page you posted if you look at linux-generic you
see it points to linux-image-generic which points to  linux-
image-3.2.0-51-generic.

I cannot say 100% but an average LTS user (doing only security updates
and not testing mainline kernels, etc.) still has kernel 3.2.

Meaning that closing a bug in LTS because somebody (notorious for
merging unrelated bugs) states, incorrectly, that "since 3.8 is in
Precise now" concluding that "this is _probably_ irrelevant" is a
seriously bad move.

But others have already argued that "this is open source" so it's cool
if random people make a mess of a distribution.

Title:
  3.5.0-7.7~precise1-generic works except for broadcom bcmwl-kernel-
  source failure

Status in “bcmwl” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired

Bug description:
  I signed up to test backports of quantal kernel to precise LTS. Sorry
  I have not tested Quantal on this system yet.

  Fresh clean install of Ubuntu 12.04 LTS on an Acer Aspire One D260
  netbook.

  Major failure during installation: broadcom driver won't install.
  (Notes below) Attaching build log.

  Kernel does run on this hardware, suspend, sound, graphics seem good.

  Wireless non-functional (as expected due to install failure).

  Here are some pertinent lines from Terminal:

  Setting up linux-headers-3.5.0-7 (3.5.0-7.7~precise1) ...
