See the broadcom-sta-dkms Debian package instead, and the work that
has been done in Debian to autodetect the correct drivers at boot time
(which will allow us to install the broadcom-sta drivers in Tails
without breaking support for currently supported hardware):
https://bugs.debian.org/748679
https://bugs.debian.org/749109
This is tracked in the Tails bug tracker already:
https://labs.riseup.net/code/issues/7798
So, the next thing to do is to build a Tails ISO with
broadcom-sta-dkms and live-config 4.x (both pulled from sid), and see
if that works. IMO, anything else is a waste of time, since it will
only result in "fixing" the problem for one single user, whereas many
users need this to work.
Cheers,
