Fixes #9386

Summary

  • replace the kernel-specific broadcom-wl package in the offline package set with broadcom-wl-dkms
  • install the DKMS variant for detected BCM4360 and BCM4331 hardware

fix-bcm43xx.sh already installs dkms and linux-headers, so the module can rebuild when the kernel changes instead of remaining tied to one kernel package.

Testing

  • bash -n install/hardware/fix-bcm43xx.sh
  • verified both package-selection sites use broadcom-wl-dkms
  • git diff --check
