So it's trixie-backports.

I checked my trixie machine.
Here's the result:

$ uname -a
Linux Airport 6.18.9+deb13-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian
6.18.9-1~bpo13+1 (2026-02-13) x86_64 GNU/Linux
$ dpkg -l|grep dkms
ii  broadcom-sta-dkms                       6.30.223.271-29~bpo13+1
          amd64        dkms source for the Broadcom STA Wireless
driver
ii  dkms                                    3.2.2-1~deb13u1
          all          Dynamic Kernel Module System (DKMS)
$ find /lib/modules | grep wl.ko
/lib/modules/6.18.5+deb13-amd64/updates/dkms/wl.ko.xz
/lib/modules/6.12.73+deb13-amd64/updates/dkms/wl.ko.xz
/lib/modules/6.18.9+deb13-amd64/updates/dkms/wl.ko.xz

So on my trixie machine, all kernel 6.12 and 6.18 work well.
Can you kindly share dkms build log, if it's not working on your side?
