Please show your routing table. Output of "route -n", for example.

Please make sure that wl driver is loaded and is actually effective
(output of "lsmod | grep wl").

Please consider updating to latest packages from backports.debian.org .

Config of the wired NIC might actually CAUSE the problem. I.e. your
default route setting might be lost or conflicting between interfaces.

Good idea, isn't it?

Dear Maintainer,

*** Reporter, please consider answering these questions, where appropriate ***

   * What led up to the situation? Removed the default package for Debian 8 and 
installed the broadcom-sta-dkms package from https://wiki.debian.org/wl and 
after reloading the kernel the broadcom driver seems to have trouble routing 
ipv4 traffic.  ICMP on the LAN works but fails to route beyond Internet 
gateway.  Wired NIC works fine on same machine.
   * What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
 ineffective)? I have proven other hosts and wired NIC on problem host are 
working fine.
   * What was the outcome of this action? Outcome was improved latency and 
network speed with the driver and package update however ipv4 routing has 
failed beyond the LAN.
   * What outcome did you expect instead? I expected improved wireless 
performance with no routing issues.
