Followup-For: Bug #773713
This package seems to work fine with 3.19-trunk from experimental when
pacthed appropriately. I used patches from Ubuntu and Arch:
<https://github.com/longsleep/bcmwl-ubuntu/blob/master/debian/patches/0015-add-support-for-Linux-3.18.patch>
<https://gist.github.com/hobarrera/ac0e6225210ac5bb13f6#file-broadcom-sta-6-30-223-248-linux-3-18-null-pointer-crash-patch>
I had to change the paths to add amd64/ before src/, I guess you'll have
to make copies to do the same for i386 in the official package.
