Which wireless card is this?  Please attach the output of dmesg from a working kernel, and the same output from 3.16.3.

Comment 5 Josh Boyer 2014-10-06 11:41:29 UTC
You're using the proprietary wl module in 3.15.  It probably doesn't load in the 3.16 kernel.  Fedora doesn't provide or support proprietary modules, so you will need to contact whomever you got it from.
