I've been trying to reproduce this problem without success. Can you
please paste the output of the following two commands?

 ls -ld /lib/firmware/brcm
 ls -l /lib/firmware/brcm

Please also let me know if you've ever installed any extra packages or
manually added any firmware files to support your bluetooth or wifi, or
anything else along these lines. Thanks!
