  Hans,

At the URL you gave, it is stated that they fixed the problem:
"Probably requires some backports from master like daf6744 and c71233f"
followed later by
"Fixed by backporting those two commits and testing build."

Those fixes are in patches here:

https://github.com/NixOS/nixpkgs/tree/c71233f12cb976b259e88ee4300687df26e5377d/pkgs/os-specific/linux/broadcom-sta

Click on a patch, then select raw and copy and paste the text.
They apply all the patches in this order:

i686-build-failure.patch
license.patch
linux-4.7.patch
linux-4.8.patch
linux-4.11.patch
linux-4.12.patch
null-pointer-fix.patch
gcc.patch

You may, or may not, want the license patch - with it you will likely see
something like "wl: module license 'MIXED/Proprietary' taints kernel"
in the kernel logs.

Do let us know if the patches do the trick.


  Cheers,

  Mike Shell
