Vincenzo Costa, just to advise, the live environment won't ever work if
you don't actually install the bcmwl-kernel-source module (i.e. install
proprietary software via Additional Drivers). Did you do this in the
live environment?

Title:
  14e4:4359 [Dell Latitude 5530] Broadcom BCM43228 WiFi interface not
  recognized with linux-generic-lts-utopic 3.16.0-25

Status in bcmwl package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  I have a Dell latitude 5530 laptop with the Broadcom BCM43228 wireless card, 
and I currently run Kubuntu 14.04.1 LTS. It works ok with the 3.13.0-40 
original linux kernel, but after installing the linux-generic-lts-utopic kernel 
(version 3.16-25) the wireless interface does not appear any more. The kubuntu 
applet for network connections does not allow to switch the wireless network 
on. Booting back with 3.13 kernel can fix the issue, so it's not a hardware 
problem. The following commands do not give any output concerning the wireless 
interface wlan0 or the BCM43228:
  dmesg | grep 'BCM'
  iwconfig
  ifconfig
