Moritz,

Instead of waiting for the upstream packagers to fix this, try one of
the following:

- Use a pre-3.18 kernel. 3.16.33 and 3.16.34 are quite stable,
- Install the bmcwl package (version 6.30.233.248) and apply the patch manually in the /usr/src hierarchy which dkms uses to build the module. Don't forget to change the dkms.conf file to reflect the increased number of patches.
