Yes that is indeed *very* helpful!

In the above you can see:

Autoinstall on 6.17.8+deb13-amd64 was skipped for module(s) 8812au rtl8821cu.

there is no such dkms package in Debian as far I can see, so this must
be some external one, but that is not the ultimate cause as this will
be skipped. But the second is:

Autoinstall on 6.17.8+deb13-amd64 failed for module(s) broadcom-sta(10).

and earlier in the log you see:

So the issue is in broadcom-sta-dkms. It *might* be the same as #1117463 but
for that we need to see the
/var/lib/dkms/broadcom-sta/6.30.223.271/build/make.log . Can you please attach
this to this bug please?
