You can check this list if you want to make sure it  libre.

its really simple to do that.

order yourself an Intel Wifi card like me. costs around 45 USD
it will work without doing anything once you replaced the broadcom card no need
to type in any commands.

Intel wi-fi requires binary blobs which are a black box and will stop 
working eventually.


Get yourself one with a realtek or atheros chipset that doesn't require 
blobs such as A5K or A9K series, they will cost less than an intel 
chipset as well.

It's slightly easier thanks to PV Grub support:
https://www.qubes-os.org/doc/managing-vm-kernel/#tocAnchor-1-1-3

But still requires some work.

Or different miniPCIe wireless card...

Because Ubuntu adds a lot of proprietary drivers which most major
distributions don't.

As you can see here
wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43#Supported_devices , most
bc4360 cards are supported only by the proprietary wl driver.

You need to compile the module for your sys-net kernel, or the VM you
want to use for run it.

I suggest you to do an standalone VM and let it use his own kernel
instead the dom0 provided. It's a pretty complicated process, you can
also buy a cheap (and compatible) USB dongle and connect it directly
to sys-net.

Regards.
