I went to Synaptic from the System Settings dialog, searched for bcmwl. It found the kernel source for the Broadcom. Then I marked that source file for reinstallation, applied, and after it finished reinstalling, I rebooted. The driver now works. (I may have had to activate it first, don't remember, but if it isn't working, then install the driver either from system settings or by clicking on the icon when the top panel displays the restricted drivers icon.) I don't understand why re- installation of the source works from Synaptic, but the initial activation didn't work. It just does.
