Package: broadcom-sta-dkms Version: 6.30.223.248-3.3 Followup-For: Bug #787598
It is surprising to me that the issue is specific to the Debian shipped kernel. I hand-roll the kernel myself for y use, and on my local kernels, the driver loads and works fine. Infact, right now, as you can see below, I'm reporting from a 4.x kernel. My kernel is pristive upstream (stable) kernel @ 4.0.5, with some configuration changes. I've attached the diff in case you are interested.
