bcmwl-kernel-source 6.30.223.141+bdcom-0ubuntu1: bcmwl kernel module failed to build

[Timothy Russ]

Tried updating the Kernel as noted here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1220403 to resolve suspend/resume failures and now receive build error.

When running install command listed here: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/MainlineBuilds?action=show&redirect=KernelMainlineBuilds - the kernel installed but the headers specifically did not.
