Bug Description

On my laptop i need to use a newer of the kernel as the one shipped with lucid will not resume from sleep ( dell inspiron 1764)

However, using the latest kernel from http://kernel.ubuntu.com/~kernel-ppa/mainline/v2.6.34-lucid/ the wireless driver (bcmwl-kernel-source 5.60.48.36+bdcom-0ubuntu3) will not compile.

This has already been fixed see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bcmwl/+bug/580594

I would like the fix backported to lucid so that my laptop is usable under ubuntu.

Might be an good idea to backport this one to Lucid; especially when you want to use the recently added 2.6.35 kernel in the Lucid repos or the newest 2.6.36 kernel (not in Lucid repos yet)
