I cloned the git repo for the Ubuntu kernel and I built a number of test
kernels. It seems like the problem starts in 3.18.0-1.1, here are the
kernels tested:

Good
3.16.0-23.31
3.16.0-24.32
3.16.0-25.33
3.16.0-28.38 *

Bad
3.18.0-1.1
3.18.0-7.8
3.19.0-1.1
3.19.0-10.10
3.19.0-12.12
3.19.0-13.13

* - On this kernel it does work, but I have strange issues with it which
were not present on earlier kernels. It is slower to establish a
connection, and also started having intermittent connectivity problems
(it indicated it was still connected, but I wasn't able to ping my
router, for instance).

I would be happy to perform a complete git bisect to help isolate the problem 
further, but as it was I had to do this a bit manually as git bisect would 
choose a commit between releases, and therefore there was no debian/rules file 
so that I could perform the deb package build with fakeroot. The instructions 
on the KernelBisection wiki page point to this page for kernel building 
instructions:
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Kernel/BuildYourOwnKernel

The problem is that that page only contains the instructions which work
for a release (i.e. requires the debian/rules file and so forth). If you
could point me to instructions for building it in the intermediate
commits, I would be happy to do it.
