 my laptop has

 Wireless LAN Controller (rev 01) 

like mine

 and it works great with the 3.6.x kernel in F18 out of the box, in
 earlier releases I had to use the kmod-wl driver. 

I do not try f18, this test would have made ​​if rebuild the driver
failed

 Have you tried to remove all the wl stuff and see if it work without,
 if you have kmod-wl installed it will black list the kernel buildin
 BCM4313 drivers. 

Without kmod-wl the wireless do not work.

 You can also try to boot an F18 Live cd to check if it works. in tree
 drivers is preferred over out of tree ones :) 

This weekend I'll try to use a f18 live cd or install a f18 ... then I
will update you.

Many thanks

 After kernel update to 3.6.[12] (plus relative kmod-wl* module) the WiFi
 stop work

 I have found this article:
 https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?pid=1176829

 then I have install the akmod driver and I have apply to .spec file this
 patch:

 Rebuild with rpmbuild -ba rpmbuild/SPECS/wl-kmod.spec, remove old
 module rmmod wl, uninstall and reinstall new RPMS generated, reload
 module modprobe wl, and test it:

 Now WiFi work

 Hope this help

 Many thanks
