Comment 52 for bug 197959

I have exactly the same problem as ettorevi

My wireless works with 2.6.24-12 but NOT with -15 or -16

lspci:
03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11a/b/g (rev 02)

in messages I found the following, no idea if this is related to the problem, but it does not show up in the -12 kernel:
