Adding a bcmwl task since you're using the proprietary wl driver.

I did a quick check of the dkms build for bcmwl-kernel-source against
3.19.0-18 and it seems to build and load. I don't actually have a
machine using a wireless card with supported hardware to do any testing
beyond this.

All the logs here are taken with the -16 kernel, so there's really
nothing more here to look at to tell what might be going wrong. The best
thing would be if you could boot to the -18 kernel and run 'apport-
collect 1457672' while connected to the internet via a wired connection.
Otherwise I'd suggest starting by seeing if the wl module is loaded
(lsmod | grep -w wl). If it isn't loaded then try loading it (sudo
modprobe wl). If that fails then it probably means the module failed to
build for some reason; there may be some errors in the log files under
/var/lib/dkms/bcmwl which describe what happened.
