Public bug reported: After an upgrade to my 32-bit Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS yesterday, my wireless card is no longer noticed. It is a Broadcom, using their driver.

Going back to a previous Ubuntu kernel solves the problem. My computer is an old (2008) Dell XPS laptop. I've never had any wireless problems until today.
