I know the reason. It seems the wifi module which was coming with this new kernel (flatpak) was not distributed to the device. (I'll ask mautz about it because I got the instruction from him.)

Here is the workaround: (please do not flash the other kernel because you'll get the same issue, hence we should fall back forward

)
Please do the following:
- unzip the flatpak kernel into a folder (e.g. /home/nemo/tmp)
- run this command as root

Code:

mkdir /lib/modules/`uname -r`

(Please note the back tick here! This will create the proper folder (3.4.0-cyanogenmod-gcf8d299404c) within /lib/modules where the new kernel looks for the modules.)
- copy the /home/nemo/tmp/modules/bcmdhd.ko into the new location /lib/modules/3.4.0-cyanogenmod-gcf8d299404c/
- reboot

With this you should have flatpak support in the kernel and working wifi.
Please let me know how it went.
