Okay, so you've installed the bcmwl-kernel-source package and that's the
driver being used with 4.13 (and likely it did blacklist bcma). I
suspect that when you install hwe-edge or the 4.16 kernel you got some
messages about the dkms build for the driver failing, but perhaps you
didn't notice them.

The dkms drivers do not get fixed immediately for a new hwe-edge kernel.
It will be fixed in time, but for the moment your options are to either
stick with the 4.13 hwe kernel or remove the bcmwl-kernel-source package
and use the driver built into the kernel.
