Are you seeing a specific error message when trying to build the module?

The driver shows up as not activated in Additional Drivers. If I activate it, it will fail and tell me to check the jocky.log

I also tried uninstalling and reinstalling bcmwl-kernel-source from the cli. No luck. =(

Okay I downloaded the kernel source for QQ from here https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/quantal/amd64/bcmwl-kernel-source/5.100.82.38+bdcom-0ubuntu7

Everything works for the wireless now. =)
