Bug Description

Due to problems with the 3.7 kernel, network-manager uses almost all the cpu resources, when the wl driver is loaded. I instaled the latest kernel from the mainline kernel archive. I'm now running 3.8rc1:

Linux redstone 3.8.0-030800rc1-generic #201212212135 SMP Sat Dec 22 02:45:41 UTC 2012 i686 i686 i686 GNU/Linux

The wl driver doesn't build with this kernel
