Bug Description

With a fresh install of Ubuntu 24.04 LTS on an older notebook with a Broadcom BCM4352 WLAN chip and secure boot enabled, I tried to get WiFi running by installing the bcmwl-kernel-source package. Unfortunately, the module does not load:

> sudo modprobe wl
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'wl': Key was rejected by service

I was then following the procedure described here, to sign the wl kernel module manually:

https://askubuntu.com/questions/760671/could-not-load-vboxdrv-after-upgrade-to-ubuntu-16-04-and-i-want-to-keep-secur/

This resulted in this warning - but the module wl module did not load either.
>dkms status
broadcom-sta/6.30.223.271, 6.8.0-38-generic, x86_64: installed (WARNING! Diff between built and installed module!)

Can you advise how to get the wl kernel module running? Thank you in advance.
