Title:
  bcmwl-kernel-source 6.20.155.1+bdcom-0ubuntu0.0.1: bcmwl kernel module
  failed to build, crashes on install from Ubuntu 12.04.3 to .4 updates
  on Asus G750JW-DB71 laptop

Status in “bcmwl” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  The software updates for critical package bcmwl install FAILED. I
  expected it to NOT FAIL.

  Initial install on Asus G750JW-DB71 notebook was Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS
  from CD (because 12.04.4 and 13.10 would hang while installing). It
  had no Broadcom wireless driver working so I manually added the
  BCM43xx driver found in hybrid-v35_64-nodebug-pcoem-6_30_223_95.tar.gz
  and got the wireless working.

  At this point I checked for software updates keeping the critical
  security updates (which included this package whose install failed)
  but  uncheck all the recommended updates. I also previously tried it
  without the BCM manual driver installation where it also fails but the
  jockey log file ended with complaints about a missing wl driver (see
  attached jockey.log.1 file).

  I installed on the internal WDC 1TB disk using partitions 2 & 3; partitioned as follows :
  sda1 101MB NTFS
  sda2 10GB  EXT4 / for Ubuntu
  sda3 13744 GB linux-swap for Ubuntu

  Asus ROG G750JW-DB71 Notebook
