I found the same bug while trying to install the latest kernel
3.11.0-031100-generic on Ubuntu 13.04 (x86_64) Mac mini late 2012 with a
BCM4331 wireless chipset. The issue seems to be number of changes
appeared in proc_fs.h in kernel-3.10.0 which moved from
create_proc_entry() to proc_create(). The patch checks the current
version of the kernel and uses the appropriate function calls required.


** Patch added: "Added support for kernel-3.9.0-3.11.0"
