Bug Description

I am using a new Lenovo E431 laptop, with wireless upgraded to "ThinkPad a/b/g/n Wireless & Bluetooth 4.0 (2x2 ABGN & BT 4.0)".
I installed ubuntu 12.04, and upgraded kernel to 3.8.0-30.

My machine details:
$ uname -arn
Linux ubuntu 3.8.0-30-generic #44~precise1-Ubuntu SMP Fri Aug 23 18:32:41 UTC 2013 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

After upgrading, when I tried to install wireless driver, I am not able to install it.
Looks like kernel sources have changed, and drive module is failing to build because of that.
