I did a suspend/resume which triggered the failure. The terminal command failed:

root@aargh:~# rmmod bcmwl && modprobe bcmwl
rmmod: ERROR: Module bcmwl is not currently loaded

Bouncing network manager brought me back online, but bcmwl did not get reloaded.

root@aargh:~# service NetworkManager restart
root@aargh:~# rmmod bcmwl && modprobe bcmwl
rmmod: ERROR: Module bcmwl is not currently loaded

Which is unsurprising as it doesn't seem to exist:

root@aargh:~# modprobe bcmwl
modprobe: FATAL: Module bcmwl not found.
