The same bug affects me (regression on upgrade from lucid to maverick),
with the same driver (bcmwl-kernel-source).
I note for the reporter (assuming the problem is actually identical)
that right-clicking on the wireless taskbar logo and ticking "Enable
Wireless" successfully brings the device back up, and a short while
afterwards a wireless connection is successfully made (and stays up).
