You're using the wl driver for wireless, which is separate from the
kernel and needs to be rebuilt for each new kernel version. Your logs
show that the module isn't loaded. Sometimes a change in a kernel update
will cause the build to fail, but I just installed against 3.13.0-53.89
and didn't see any build problems. A couple basic things you could try
are loading the module manually (sudo modprobe wl) and running 'dkms
status' and seeing what it says for the kernel you're having problems
with; if the status isn't "installed" then there may be errors in
/var/lib/dkms/bcmwl/<version>/3.13.0-53-generic/x86_64/log/make.log
which may help explain what's wrong.

Title:
  Regression: no wifi in macbook pro 11,1

Status in bcmwl package in Ubuntu:
  New
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Prior kernels in 12.04 such as 3.13.0-13-generic and linux-
  image-3.13.11-031311ckt16-generic had a working suspend and a working
  wifi. The latest kernel does not manage to get the wifi up.

  Additionally upon booting the dialog to enter the password takes tens
  of seconds to become active while the laptop attempts to connect to
  the internet.
