mac80211,cfg80211,and rfkill kernel modules should not be loading.
This is my lsmod after boot with b43,b44, and ssb blacklisted, before I installed and modprobe wl :

The modprobe wl difference:
lib80211_crypt_tkip 6186 0
wl 1936301 0
lib80211 2453 2 lib80211_crypt_tkip,wl
When I modprobe wl, lib80211 and lib80211_crypt_tkip auto-load.
My theory is your lsmod has no lib80211_crypt_tkip because of conflict from mac80211,cfg80211,and rfkill.
Remove (modprobe -r)and verify mac80211,cfg80211,and rfkill are not loaded with lsmod before you modprobe wl
After you modprobe wl, verify lib80211 and lib80211_crypt_tkip are loaded
Check the kernel has recognized the interface and created wlan0.
ls /sys/class/net
Nothing will work until you have wlan0
This version of broadcom-wl from 4.0 works on my laptop. There is no eth0 because my ethernet requires b44 and ssb which is blacklisted.
ls /sys/class/net -> dummy0 lo tunl0 wlan0
