Why is this assigned to bcmwl?
OP problem seems to be the kernel thinking that no RAM is available
(making OOM Killer kill everything).
Even if 32GB RAM are present the kernel command line has all these weird
options:

bcmwl-kernel-source 6.30.223.141+bdcom-0ubuntu2: bcmwl kernel module failed

Just a quick note that this is caused by some change between kernel 3.14

The bcmwl regularly needs patches to keep up to date with the kernel.
This has nothing to do with trusty (I run precise).

Hi all,
IANAL but I think it should be no problem to link non-GPL with GPL

Modifying the license of a module would certainly be illegal. Modifying
modpost.c to remove that check (s/fatal/warn/) would just produce a

AFAIK the only solution is by (illegally) modifying the bcmwl license to
be GPL, which Ubuntu will never do (but you could, privately).
For some reason some kernel functions can only be used with GPL-licensed
modules, which bcmwl isn't.
I currently don't know if a technical workaround exists,
