@Thomas Hotz: I tested the updated deb I posted in #5 on linux
3.5.0-4.dmz.1-liquorix-amd64, and it works for me

Now, given a power regression in kernel 3.5, I was eager to test drive 3.6-rc6, 
and found rc7 out already!
So yesterday I installed linux 3.6-rc7.towo.1-siduction-amd64, the wl.ko module 
compiles and installs cleanly, and loads okay upon boot to 3.6-rc7. However, 
I'm unable to associate to my AP anymore:

As bcm43142 (Dell hybrid wifi/bluetooth adapter / 14e4:4365) is fairly
new, this proprietary driver is all that's there to support it. :(
