The propietary Broadcom STA Wireless driver is maintained upstream by Broadcom. As this driver is closed source, fixes in the driver itself may only be provided by Broadcom. As a convenience, Ubuntu offers two versions of this driver:
* The bcmwl-kernel-source package aims to offer a later version for a given release. Instructions for installation may be found later in this article.
* The broadcom-sta package aims to offer an earlier version for a given release. For further installation instructions, please see here.
