Try these.

sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager and then

sudo apt-get purge network-manager
sudo apt-get install network-manager

The syntax of your apt command was wrong. The option "-v" instructs apt to show its own version number (which it did).

Default for apt is installing the version with the highest priority value, which usually is the highest version number available, so there should not be the need to specify a version number on the command line (and if you do, then the syntax is different).

The command

sudo apt install broadcom-sta-dkms

should be sufficient.

(or eventually "sudo apt install broadcom-sta-dkms=6.30.223.271-24")

Can you help with this problem?
