If an external module is not compatible with a new kernel version, that
is not a bug in the new kernel version.


Which I perfectly understand. 


But as a user, I'm stuck with a broken system (no wireless) after
choosing to update my kernel by regular means. What should be my next
steps?


As it happens, this has just been fixed in a new version of
broadcom-sta in unstable.


Good to hear that. I'll give it a try even though I'm running stable.

Thanks for the quick answer.
