Thank you for the workaround and the patch.
I tested this and got :

ubuntu@ubuntu-inspiron-5482:~$ sudo dkms install bcmwl/6.30.223.271+bdcom -k all
Error! Your kernel headers for kernel all cannot be found.
Please install the linux-headers-all package,
or use the --kernelsourcedir option to tell DKMS where it's located

Then I did :
sudo apt install --reinstall linux-headers-5.6.0-1007-oem
(because I didn't know the location)
and it worked.

Does anyone know where the patch can be applied to?
I will ping the maintainer I had contact with in the past for Ubuntu so I hope this can be merged soon.

Thanks a lot for your contribution !
