Hello, According to my last post (#25), and IMHO this driver is only accurate for the bcm43142 aka bcm4365 or Dell 1704 device. All other Broadcom wireless devices that were compatible with the 5.100.82.112 device driver should just use this one and not the new one proposed here. If you "google" for 6.20.55.19 broadcom wireless device driver, you should find the discussions about building deb files for new Ubuntu distribution, since this original wireless device driver was only provided by Dell with old Ubuntu/laptops. So it would be probably a good choice (IMHO) to keep the two drivers in two different deb files and let the users make their choices according to their respective hardware. Maybe keeping the originals pci-ids included in each driver as they were initially would help users to make their own choices. Maybe it would be then necessary to rename the .ko file of one of these drivers (the last one seems a good choice in order to keep old systems working) in order to achieve this task.
That was my modest two cents in trying to keep a working Ubuntu LTS distribution for the next 2 years.
