I can concur with Michael's assessment.

I've a Macbook Pro 8,1, with broadcom 4331 wifi chip. With raring, wifi
was quite stable (I was using b43 then). Doing a clean-install of saucy,
my wifi was highly unstable (using wl). I had same instability using
b43.

I followed Michael's advice and installed a 3.8 kernel with bcmwl-
kernel-source version 6.20, and I have reliable wifi once more.
