The jockey handler essentially does this when enabling the wl driver:
rmmod b43
rmmod b43legacy
rmmod bcm43xx
rmmod ssb
modprobe wl
Then it iterates over /sys/module/wl/drivers/*, and for each actual
driver (like 1-1.5.4.2:1.0), echoes their name first into "unbind" and
second into "bind", so that the kernel "reloads" the device for that
driver. This causes firmware to be loaded, and wl to work without a
reboot. According to the syslog, the driver oopsed on either unbinding
or rebinding. Perhaps you could do the steps manually on your machine in
the live session and record precisely what happens?
This unbinding/rebinding has worked fine for several cycles, so I guess
either the kernel or (more likely) the bcmwl package broke something
there recently. If there is a different way, or perhaps a different
order of these commands that work, we can certainly change the jockey
handler.

Bug description:
As the subject says, install of the wifi driver at least partly fails.
It looks like it's installing and wifi becomes selectable as an option
in network manager, but it's not working. It installs and works fine
when installed during a regular install. The automatically attached
files will be from the installed system. I'll attach files from
/var/log of the live session separately.
