This package provides the source code for the wl kernel modules and makes use
of the DKMS build utility to install them for the running kernel. The
alternative package broadcom-sta-source can be used instead in case of build
problems.
.
The wireless-tools package is also required in order to make use of these
modules. Kernel source or headers are required to compile these modules.
