Same thing happend to me. Try blacklisting brcmsmac in /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf, and load it by putting modprobe brcmsmac line in /etc/rc.local. Solved it for me.
Yes, that's what I do with the broadcom-wl driver. Loading the brcmsmac driver through udev gives a kernel panic

@petrakos, did you tried as nitori said in his last post?
thanks again.
]]>@csocratess
are you using brcmsmac module?
for blacklisting, have you done it in rc.conf with: MODULES=( !bcma ) ?
I know that method of blacklisting is at the very least depreciated, but as of recent updates I don't think it works at all now. This is how I blacklisted:
Contents of /etc/modules.d/modules.conf
blacklist b43
blacklist b43legacy
blacklist bcma
If you have broadcom-wl installed, you may want to blacklist that as well (`wl` is the module name).
To see if you were successful, execute
grep bcma /proc/modules
If there is no output, then blacklisting was successful.
Edit: And this is assuming you are using the brcmsmac driver

No interface is shown.
Previously, I was using tux on ice kernel 2.6.38-4, and wireless worked without problems.
I guess from 2.6.38 to 3 kernel there was more than a rename for this module.
