Title:
  14e4:4359 [Dell Latitude 5530] Broadcom BCM43228 WiFi interface not
  recognized with linux-generic-lts-utopic 3.16.0-25

Status in bcmwl package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I have a Dell latitude 5530 laptop with the Broadcom BCM43228 wireless card, and I currently run Kubuntu 14.04.1 LTS. It works ok with the 3.13.0-40 original linux kernel, but after installing the linux-generic-lts-utopic kernel (version 3.16-25) the wireless interface does not appear any more. The kubuntu applet for network connections does not allow to switch the wireless network on. Booting back with 3.13 kernel can fix the issue, so it's not a hardware problem. The following commands do not give any output concerning the wireless interface wlan0 or the BCM43228:
  dmesg | grep 'BCM'
  iwconfig
  ifconfig
