Additional context

I'm not sure if hydra can reproduce this build failure as the search bar gives a database timeout error:

I have found relevant patches that were applied in Ubuntu, however I can't seem to find a way to override broadcom-sta from my nixos configuration with these patches...

Hi, please take a look at #379913. I've been waiting for the PR to be merged a couple weeks now.
