Thanks Gary!  I should have seen that (and there was another thread
about Broadcom on the list too).  Fortunately this laptop doesn't have
Secure Boot (it's a MBP from 2010) so that didn't bite me.

I do seem to have an issue that when waking on suspend the wifi won't
come back up.  But I haven't done enough troubleshooting to provide any
helpful debugging information, and I may not care anyway (the "laptop"
is basically my desktop system).

Sorrym, but I can't help you with this one. I don't use suspend on this
or any
laptop.  One of my users does with her Win7 laptop and it causes no end of 
grief.  However, apparently shutting down properly every time is "so much 
hassle"
