[Gerry Boland <1387199@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

Hey again folks,
I've forward ported the 6.20 version of the bcmwl driver to work with Xenial, as I also find 6.30 is unusably unstable on Xenial. I'm just pushing the source here:
lp:~gerboland/+junk/bcmwl_kernel_source-6.20/
It's rough & ready, but should work.

I will put a pre-built package here for those on amd64:
http://people.canonical.com/~gerboland/xenial/bcmwl-kernel-source_6.20.155.1+bdcom-0ubuntu7_amd64.deb

Again, don't forget to apt-mark hold it, as it is older than that in the distro.
Please let me know if you've any problems
-G
