Thanks Bernardo. Your link was basically the same as where I had already
downloaded from.

Never having worked with it before, I am struggling to rapidly
understand the maintenance, packaging and build structures of ubuntu
dkms. I failed to find a patch file of the correct name, but I can now
see the content of what will become it within the bcmwl_6.30.223.30
+bdcom-0ubuntu3.diff file, so I have something to work with - even
though I don't actually have the patch file used during the dkms install
of the bcmwl module.

bcmwl_6.20.155 running under my generic kernel is the only way I can use
the wifi adapter at the moment. My low-latency and custom kernels are
installed on the same system and share the same package. I don't want to
risk breaking the only combination that currently works, and I can't see
a safe and easy way to have both versions of bcmwl on the same system. I
will stick with slow and painful source file comparisons for the moment
- unless you tell me a quicker way...
