Mike,

I just noticed that the linux-wireless list was not in the Cc list - I added it. 
I also changed the subject to help catch the attention of the Broadcom 
maintainers. I am definitely not one of them.

Your device is a BCM4345, which uses the brcmfmac driver. The dmesg output that 
you posted shows the firmware loading, but nothing happens beyond that. This is 
the point where I would expect the user-space code such as NetworkManager to 
take over. What code do you use to control wifi? Did that change when your 
kernel was updated?
