I tried to build that version and after installing I got:

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
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: /github. com/longsleep/ bcmwl-ubuntu/ issues/ 17
