Hi,
I've installed the 3.4 kernel (dpkg) to get around the ivy bridge hang problem in the previous kernels. But, can't figure out how to get wifi working.

The log file: /var/lib/dkms/bcmwl/5.100.82.38+bdcom/build/make.log
says:

DKMS make.log for bcmwl-5.100.82.38+bdcom for kernel 3.4.0-030400-generic (x86_64)

The asm/system.h doesn't seem to be part of the 3.4. So, am I right in thinking that I can change /var/lib/dkms/bcmwl/5.100.82.38+bdcom/build/src/wl/sys/wl_linux.c to simply include something else (whatever the new equivalent is)?

Any thoughts?

Thanks...
