Installing bcmwl-kernel-source crashes kernel / ubuntu 13.04

[Zygmunt Krynicki]

I have Lenovo G580 with the BCM4313 (PCI ID: 14e4:4727)

Installing bcmwl-kernel-source (from the jockey replacement or directly) crashes the machine with the following kernel trace:

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

[cochisebt (cochisebt)]

Got the same problem on 12.04, using a HP Pavilion dv9000.

Same issue with Linux Mint 13.

Lenovo G570, with the same broadcom card. Upgrade to 13.04 made my system unbootable. Had to use former kernel (3.5) in order to boot.
