[Vincent Gerris <1595765@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

it seems the package is incompatible with the 4.7 kernel, which it's
shows when booted in it and trying to reinstall.

there is in issue open here:
https://github.com/longsleep/bcmwl-ubuntu/issues/17

I tried to build that version and after installing I got:
Unpacking bcmwl-kernel-source (6.30.223.271+bdcom-1longsleep0) over (6.30.223.248+bdcom-0ubuntu8) ...

there is many errors in the log, probably needs quite some modification.
Feel happy to try and fix it, I really do not have the time at the moment
