I am affected by this same problem.  The new version of the wl driver
(5.100.82.38) does not work on my Dell Latitude D830 while the previous
version works perfectly.

Here is the relevant line from lspci:

0c:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN
(rev 01)

and I have also received the following message in system logs:

Feb 27 22:30:41 tschenk5 kernel: [   12.925353] eth%d: 5.100.82.38
driver failed with code 21


As this chipset was widely used in Dell laptops I hope there is some progress 
on this problem soon, as it is the only thing preventing me from keeping my 
system completely up to date.

And to add to the list of distributions affected, you can count in
Fedora 14.
