@Manjul I checked for brcmsmac, but it seems they only support the broadcom 4313 and... ops... I discovered I wrote the wrong model of my broadcom card. In fact I have a 4312 (which seems not supported by brcmsmac), not a 4313... Sorry
I'll update the description ** Description changed: - While starting from Ubuntu 11.10 to 12.10 wl drivers worked like a charm on my broadcom 4313, it seems that the drivers in ubuntu 13.04 started causing kernel panics while using the network. The version I'm using is a fresh install of ubuntu 13.04 amd64 plus all the updates as of today and the home folder restored from an ubuntu 12.10 backup, but I don't think it could make the difference as the freeze happens also when logged as a "just created" user. + While starting from Ubuntu 11.10 to 12.10 wl drivers worked like a charm on my broadcom 4312, it seems that the drivers in ubuntu 13.04 started causing kernel panics while using the network.

I'm pretty sure this problem is cause of broadcom drivers (or broadcom related network stuff) because as soon as I blacklisted wl, mac80211 and cfg80211 modules and plugged in an usb ralink wifi card it stopped to freeze.
