Title:
  bcmwl-kernel-source_6.20 update breaks for BCM4313

Status in “bcmwl” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in “ubuntu-drivers-common” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  On upgrade to 13.04, the wl.ko, package bcmwl-kernel-source drier is
  selected.

  This driver does not allow the computer to boot and causes great pain in recovery for users, most of which will not be able to get the Ubuntu installation functional
  https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bcmwl/+bug/1097509

  Instead use the driver brcmsmac, that actually works with BCM4313
