Title:
  14e4:4315 wl driver does not initialize correctly on boot

Status in “bcmwl” package in Ubuntu:
  Expired
Status in “linux” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  On this laptop in particular, the wl driver unfailingly comes up in an
  unusable state. eth2 is present and shows the right MAC but nearly
  every command fails with "Invalid argument". To get the wireless card
  into a usable state I have to unblock it with rfkill (this seems to be
  important), than unload and reload the wl module.

  If I were to guess, I'd surmise that the firmware isn't being loaded
  due to the chip being off at the time the module is loaded.
