I remembered noticing a message during the last system update in which linux-iimage-6.10.3-amd64 was installed. The message stated something about the DKMS module, which must be ran to install the Broadcom WiFi driver into a newly installed kernel.
I used synaptic to check for "6.6.13" packages and noted the linux-headers-6.6.13-1-amd64 package. was installed So I then searched for "6.10.3" packages and linux-headers-6.10.3-amd64 and associated packages were not installed. I installed the linux-headers-6.10.3-amd64 package, which also installed associated/dependent packages, and WiFi worked when I booted with the 6.10.3 kernel. So, the real issue must have been that for whatever reason the linux-headers package and associated/dependent packages were not being installed beginning with 6.6.15.
