I showed my build logs. If you want me to help, I'm happy to, I just
need better steps.

Are you saying that broadcom-sta doesn't work for anyone? If that's
right, what am I doing wrong?

(I've unsubscribed ubuntu-sponsors since this is on the list and there
is nothing to sponsor ATM, given my questions. Please re-subscribe them
when there is.)
