 That mean something happen like in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bcmwl/+bug/1107155

 and Oedipe point me to the exit
"Well, after some hours trying to solve the issue, i found the trick ! (it does work for me on a Lenovo with a BCM4312)
Uninstall completely bcmwl-kernel-source ! (seems buggy)
Install instead "b43-fwcutter" and "firmware-b43-lpphy-installer" (for BCM4312), or the others BCM installers according to your type of BCM.
Reboot => done ! No more "wl continuously spams syslog" and my wifi is stable and strong now." 

 After uninstall then install something new, then REBOOT!
So thank Oedipe and launchpad

For example, there are a number of bots out there trying the username/password combo "postgres/postgres" to log into your UNIX system. What you should do is follow  Chris James 's answer: sudo -u postgres psql postgres # \password postgres Enter new password: To explain it a little bit. There are usually two default ways to login to...
