The version of bcmwl in the proposed pocket of Precise that was
purported to fix this bug report has been removed because the bugs that
were to be fixed by the upload were not verified in a timely (105 days)
fashion.

Title:
  Add support for the backported lts-utopic stack

Status in bcmwl package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in bcmwl source package in Precise:
  Won't Fix
Status in bcmwl source package in Trusty:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  SRU request:

  [Impact]

   * As a result of this bug, bcmwl-kernel-source will fail to build the
  module against linux-generic-lts-utopic in Ubuntu 14.04.2.

  [Test Case]

   * Enable the trusty-proposed repository and install bcmwl-kernel-
  source (6.30.223.248+bdcom-0ubuntu0.1).

   * Install linux-generic-lts-utopic

   * If the package installs without errors from DKMS with both the
  linux-generic and linux-generic-lts-utopic kernels, then the patches
  work correctly.

  [Regression Potential]

   * The patches that I backported from 15.04 will preserve the current
  driver behaviour on linux-generic (3.13) and linux-generic-lts-utopic
  (3.16), thanks to the use of specific macros in the code which check
  the kernel version. As a result, no regressions of any kind can be
  expected on these kernels. As a plus, support for kernels up to 3.18
  is also included.
