I ran into this upgrading from Karmic last night. I had no wifi and Jockey gave an error when I tried to activate the Broadcom STA driver. I ran dpkg-reconfigure linux-image-2.6.32-13-generic and then was able to activate the driver and wifi now works. I am attaching the /var/lib/dkms/bcmwl/ dir from before the dpkg-reconfigure. The only kernel directory was for the kernel I was running during upgrade. Additionally, I ran modinfo on the driver and got:

vermagic: 2.6.31-19-generic SMP mod_unload modversions 586

Hope this helps.
