I think the Broadcom driver is actually on the Linux Mint live USB, but
apparently you have to know how to find it. I think it worked under the
Live USB but not when it was installed. (Mine was connected to the
Ethernet, so it was easy to download the driver.)

At one time I had a half-assed Ethernet setup with a crossover cable but
I'm all wireless now.

My father was worried that WiFi would make me sick so, to make him happy, I
terminated the cable in this house to CAT5 jacks (the house had separate
CAT5 cables to each location, but they were terminated to phone, four pin,
jacks). I'll probably be on WiFi in my new "town house" (glorified
apartment). But it will be quieter, just me and my wife – for the first time
in about 32 years. My youngest son is turning 18 in April and he (and two of
his brothers) are anxious to get out on their own. It's time.
