Just spent some time trying to do this. Can you please give more
'recipe' type instructions. If I install the driver, I get the fully
compiled driver. If I install the source, it also compiles and installs
the 'wl' driver.

Also, the current version of 16.04 no longer has that older STA package.
It is currently version 6.30.223.271-2. This driver does compile and
install, but as all previous versions does not connect. I can 'see' the
WAPs and can attempt to connect, but the WAP never accepts the password.

Once I install the source code by installing the 'broadcom-sta-source'
package, how do I put your edited files in the directory  and recompile
the module then install it where it belongs? I once went through this a
couple years ago and never got any better than what currently happens,
Seeing the network, but not actually connecting. Works great in Windows
at G and N, but the fwcutter based module only connects to G even though
the current module can 'see' the N.
