I confirm. For the brcm80211 module, it is necessary to add links: 0-610-809- 0.fw bcm43xx-0.fw hdr-0-610- 809-0.fw bcm43xx_hdr-0.fw
<<
cd /lib/firmware/brcm
sudo ln -s bcm43xx-
sudo ln -s bcm43xx_
>>
And do this command if wl run :
<<
sudo rmmod wl
>>
And this commands work :
<<
sudo rmmod brcm80211
sudo modprobe brcm80211
>>
