wireless stopped working

I use Ubuntu 12.04 and the wireless used to work out of the box, but it has now stopped working. I did one of those regular, automated security package updates yesterday, so I assume the problems started with that. My wireless card is "Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller [14e4:4727]" and I use that proprietary driver, broadcom-sta. I have tried de- and reinstalling the driver with that additional driver tool Ubuntu has but that doesn't change anything. It still shows the wireless networks in the menu, but when I click to connect to my router it just blinks for a while and then disconnects.

The syslog shows me this after I try connecting:

Does anyone know what went wrong and how I can fix this?

ETA: I found this post on an Ubuntu forum by someone who had the same problem with this wireless chip after the recent update and switching my wireless driver over from the "wl" one to the "brcmsmac" one seems to have restored my wireless as well. The key on my laptop indicating wireless doesn't work with this driver like it did before, but the wireless itself works now. Now I only have to make sure that this will be the driver that's loaded automatically, at least until this kernel/firmware incompatibility is fixed in another update.

Just the other day, I accidentally deactivated wireless on Ubuntu 12.04, though I now wonder if it happened while I was updating?? I was fretting for seconds until I realized I had to activate it again by hitting the keyboard wireless key.

Just in case it's the same issue, I thought I'd throw it out there :)

No, the wireless light is on, and I mean, it does see the wireless networks, mine and my neighbors, and in the log it seems to communicate with the router, so it is not turned off or non-functional entirely. It just doesn't manage to establish an actual data connection.

Hmm, odd! Sorry, don't know what would help.

I KNOW this is going to sound hokey, but it looks like your router is not giving your box an IP address, and this is causing ubuntu (well, NetworkManager) to decide that the connection is invalid (which is semi-logical for an infrastructure mode connection, sort of). I would seriously consider resetting your router.

But it connects fine to the router via the ethernet cable. And I have tried turning the router on and off too.

Can you look in your router's admin panel to see if it actually sees your computer?

Maybe the problem is with NetworkManager? You could try to connect wirelessly with wicd maybe, but I think for Ubuntu, using NetworkManager is the preferred program...

I sees something, the router log just show the computer logging on and off constantly:
