I found the same bug while trying to install the latest kernel
3.11.0-031100-generic on Ubuntu 13.04 (x86_64) late 2012 Mac mini which
runs bcm4331 chipset. The issue seems to be the kernel header changes
appeared in 3.10.0, as a result create_proc_entry function is no longer
in use and replaced by proc_create. The patch attached here reflect the
required changes in wl_linux.c and wl_cfg80211.c files.


** Attachment added: "Added support for kernel-3.9.0 onwards"
