Public bug reported:
My hardware is a MacBook Air 2015 running Linux Mint 22 Xfce. The working
kernel version is 6.17.0‑42.
When upgrading from kernel 6.17.0‑42 to 7.0.0‑28, the package installation
fails. The root cause appears to be the Wi‑Fi driver.
The proprietary driver `broadcom‑sta‑dkms` version `6.30.223.271‑23ubuntu1.2`
works fine under kernel 6.17.0‑42.
Installation of kernel 7.0.0‑28 produces the following error log:
```

```
I was advised that this proprietary Wi‑Fi driver `broadcom‑sta‑dkms` cannot
compile against Linux kernel 7.0.
Following suggestions, I manually removed the Wi‑Fi driver via terminal:
```
sudo apt remove broadcom-sta-dkms
sudo apt install -f
sudo update-grub
```
I then booted into the Linux Mint desktop with kernel 7.0.0‑28, but
Wi‑Fi is completely non‑functional.
