I encountered this bug after installing linux-generic-hwe-16.04-edge on
Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.

Installing the deb suggested by vgerris in comment #14 fixed the
problem.  The bcmwl kernel module built successfully for both the
16.04.1 kernel (kernel-4.4.0-53-generic-x86_64) and the HWE kernel
(linux-generic-hwe-16.04-edge - kernel-4.8.0-30-generic-x86_64).
Wireless connectivity with the new module works as before for both
kernels.  No issues noted after around 6 hours of use.

I recommend the fixed version of the bcmwl-kernel-source be backported
to xenial since it seems to work well with both the stock kernel and the
LTS enablement kernel.  Alternatively, to avoid destabilizing existing
LTS systems, release the updated version as part of the 16.04 HWE
enablement stack.  The 16.04.2 point release comes out not long from now
and wireless should work with the updated kernel that will ship with it.
