Hi all!
I was facing the same issue, but it's ok now after installing the
package Bernardo posted.
Thanks

@Bernardo,
I was using the 6.20.155.1+bdcom-0ubuntu6 version of bcmwl-kernel-
source.
I've downloaded and installed the version that you suggested and so far
I cannot reproduce the kernel panics with "sudo iwconfig".
However, I also used to experience random panics and black screen

@Naum,
Which exact version of bcmwl-kernel-source are you using?
For raring the only version that seems to work without problems is the one here:
https://launchpad.net/~eugenesan/+archive/ppa/+sourcepub/3158235/+listing-archive-extra
Pick the appropriate .deb (i386 for 32-bit, amd64 for 64-bit)
I guess it's too late but I'm also getting kernel panics with 13.04.
Previously, the laptop was running 12.04 and everything was okay.
I have managed to get two kernel panics in less than an hour. The first
happened randomly and the second was caused by "sudo iwconfig".
Note that I'm getting diff
@Kelly,
Great to hear. Now it's time for the powers that be (package maintainers
:) to somehow manage to provide a working bcmwl package for every
distribution, so that people don't have to go hunting around for the
exact version that works with their Ubuntu version + kernel version
combination.
Also, additional note: Upon installing that package, networking will be
broken at first and you'll get scan errors in dmesg. Restart after
installation and they'll go away. Everything should work after that, at
least on 3.8.0-19.

A fully working version of bcmwl on Raring with working wireless-N on
the BCM4331 and no kernel panics with iwconfig can be found in this PPA:

@Felipe: Yeah, that's the problem when I experimented with using the
testing version on Raring. It doesn't appear to be compatible. I got a
ton of syslog errors talking about Wifi scan errors and couldn't connect
to anything. If it works for Bernardo on Precise, though, hopefully
we'll get a versio

Not sure if this is relevant, but..
I've dumped kernel 3.8.0-19 because while booting/dmesg I saw a number
of "swap_free: bad swap file entry..", which scared the hell out of me.
So I went and installed the latest mainline kernel (3.9.0-030900), which
effectively solved that issue. Now the bcmwl
Err, I meant bcmwl version, not kernel version.

@Bernardo, thanks a bunch! Sounds great. I'll try to find out if there
are plans to bring this kernel version to Raring in the pipeline. I knew

I Just upgraded my laptop to 13.04 yesterday, and also encountered this issue.
Connecting to networks works fine, but "sudo iwconfig" crashed the system.
My wireless device is BCM43142.

I've found that the wifi connection can be kept alive by keeping a ping
session running in a terminal window. So maybe the connection dropping
is related to power management.

I have a clean install of the 13.04 daily build and wifi was working
great until I ran the updates on 2013-03-22. Since then wifi has been
very flaky with the connection dropping after working for a while.
Running iwconfig generates a kernel panic.

No, because disabling bcmwl and using b43 causes the problem to go away.
It only occurs when I'm using the wl driver. I've been using the b43
driver for a couple weeks now and I haven't experienced any kernel
panics.
