Seems Canonical have solved this inconsistency, but forgot release update! 
Kernel changes, discussed here, gets came up in version 5.6 of the kernel and 
are represented in the last versions of bcmwl-kernel-source 
(6.30.223.271+bdcom-0ubuntu7). The only difference between 
6.30.223.271+bdcom-0ubuntu5 and 6.30.223.271+bdcom-0ubuntu7 is the patch 
dealing with corresponding changes 
(/usr/src/bcmwl-6.30.223.271+bdcom/patches/0028-add-support-for-linux-5.6.patch),
 the one I mentioned before that have to be added (seems already done). The 
actual bug here is newer kernel letting in mainstream (5.8 > 5.6), without 
corresponding driver package version. Final solution will be simple enough - 
just adding latest bcmwl-kernel-source to Focal repository. I just installed it 
and:
---------------------------------------------------
#dpkg -i bcmwl-kernel-source_6.30.223.271+bdcom-0ubuntu7_amd64.deb

Canonical should be careful to releases all drivers packages no later then 
kernel (at least in future)! 👆
PROBLEM SOLVED.
