Title:

  Obviously this bug isn't fixed for 12.04 as stated in bug 923809
  This bug 1158089 is about Raring.

  This is true for me also (my workaround is to plug-in the network cable and download the driver again).
  ... driver ... it has failed to build after a new kernel release before

  Please fix it at least when the upgrade to trusty is scheduled for
  12.04
