The last time I tried to upgrade to the Raring HWE, the old v0.0.1 of bcmwl did not work.

Great news.

I can confirm that bcmwl v6.20.155.1+bdcom-0ubuntu0.0.2 in proposed works correctly with LTS-Quantal kernel in precise.
The dkms module was correctly created.

Because of bug report https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/xorg-lts-raring/+bug/1191563 I had to use this workaround to install the LTS-Raring kernel in precise

However I can confirm that after installing the Raring HWE stack, my broadcom works correctly.

Well done Alberto. Many thanks.
