Same here with 4.0.0-040000-generic. Details: http://askubuntu.com/questions/612566/how-to-compile-bcmwl-ubuntu
@aboettger If you need a working driver immediately, you can use the bcmwl-kernel-source package from the repository. At least for me it worked with 3.19.

[longsleep]

Guys this repository is ubuntu packaging. So you should build the package and install it. It then builds the module with the kernel patches required for your particular kernel version. I See that the readme needs some work :-)

[lum3n]

Do you mean by bzr? Then apologize my ignorance. It would be great if you could describe the procedure in the readme. Thanks!

[longsleep]

No not by bzr. dpkg-buildpackage is your friend. This is a git repository with all the gear for git-buildpackage - so usw gbp. I will update the readme.

[aboettger]

@aboettger We should better wait till longsleep updated the readme. ;-)
For your interest: I don't know if it was a good idea or if e.g. all patches are included but using dpkg-buildpackage created the package for me without errors. Unfortunately I can't test the deb file right now.

[aboettger]

@lum3n I wanted to give you a good answer. :)

[lum3n]

@aboettger Thank you, I really appreciate your help. Nevertheless you should edit your post on askubuntu.com because it's not working that way, I guess (in case it's not a real flaw).

[longsleep]

@aboettger your package did build fine but you try to sign with the Ubuntu release key which does obviously fail. Try adding -us (to not sign the source too) or provide your own GPG key id with -k$KEY. Still as build worked fine you should find the package one directory up.

[longsleep]

Readme was updated with build instructions.

[lum3n]

I just wanted to say thank you for your fast help and the patch in general.

[longsleep]

@lum3n You are welcome.
