I have noticed that when I start up my laptop, it shows GRUB like usual but then it black screens for about 5 seconds, displays a message about support for core revisions 0X15 and 0X17 being disabled, and then displays the startup splash screen. What is Ubuntu doing during that black screen?

Create a file /etc/modprobe.d/local-b43.conf containing the line
options b43 allhwsupport=1
Then, run the following commands
sudo rmmod b43
sudo modprobe b43
I think you are using a Broadcom (BCMxxxx) wireless card. The message is telling you to pass an option to the b43 kernel module to activate support for your wireless driver.

Hm, that's weird, my internal wireless card is working. I will try that. Nov 17, 2014 at 14:51
