Kernel Panic when I Use the Internet

My kernel panics any time I try to connect to a page with Firefox, use pacman (I can use pacman for searching native packages and removing them, but I can't update or get new packages), etc.
I can ping websites, and I'm connected to the internet, but I can't really DO anything with the internet without my kernel panicking. I've downgraded my kernel and removed recent packages, but it's still the same thing. I don't get any special dialogue from my kernel panic, it just says "Failed to sync correctly" and freezes.

I installed ibus-mozc to enable japanese input, and this began after rebooting. I can't find anything to suggest that this would have caused it. It worked flawlessly, but I uninstalled it just to be certain (to no avail, as you can guess).

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Broadcom?  If so, please remember to do a bit of searching/research before posting.

Ack! Yep, I remember noticing my wireless card wasn't supported a few weeks ago. It worked flawlessly for awhile, but I guess my luck's run out. Thanks, sorry!

Although I should mention that I'm able to use pacman to download packages and perform system updates so long as I'm not running any GUI. Probably just has to do with bad support for my card, though.
