For future reference, kolasa has a repository that have the patches required to make the driver work on 3.17 (and 3.18). https://github.com/kolasa/bcmwl-6.30.223.141
Personally I used dpkg-deb to edit the official deb file and add his patches in (specifically 0011 and 0012), got it installed and it's working perfectly so far. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Kernel Packages, which is subscribed to bcmwl in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1361670 Title: 14e4:43a0 [MacBookAir6,2] NO wireless network Status in bcmwl package in Ubuntu: Invalid Bug description: Im trying out new kernels to get monitor via thunderbolt and i noticed that the wireless stoped working for me.
