Brian- thanks for the patch. I had seen that elsewhere but had never known how to use it. Looked at it again today and tried something else and finally got it to build.

2-mv to /usr/src/bcmwl-6.30.223.248+bdcom/patches/(###)
3-edit /usr/src/bcmwl-6.30.223.248+bdcom/dkms.conf adding (###)
4-sudo dkms build -m bcmwl/6.30.223.248+bdcom -k (OUTPUT OF UNAME -R)
5-sudo dkms install -m bcmwl/6.30.223.248+bdcom -k (OUTPUT OF UNAME -R)
6-sudo modprobe wl
