The broadcom-sta package is provided by the distros and maintained by Broadcom as it is a out-of-tree driver. That means it needs to keep up with the latest kernels, but it is lagging. Basically, this is the major disadvantage of *not* doing driver development upstream. Issue with broadcom-sta package can be sent to: linux-wlan-client-support-list@broadcom.com Regards, Arend
