Public bug reported:
Will watch at the next kernel update if it isn't built at all - or just
for the wrong kernel.
Description of the oroblem: After the last 3 kernel updates the wifi of my
netbook did no more work. Since
modprobe wl
did tell me that there is no such module. The solution was easy, though:
sudo dpkg-reconfigure bcmwl-kernel-source
and afterwards a reboot or a
sudo modprobe wl
sudo service network-manager restart
