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.
