Hi,

I can't connect to BCM4360 on Devuan 5 Daedalus.  Any ideas?

Thanks for taking the time to answer my post and showing me that link. However, I must say that things have sorted themselves out today. 
The system sternly refused to make any wifi connection yesterday, even in spite of having rebooted it more than once.   When I booted into it today I could see that the doors to wifi connectivity were -almost magically- open: now I can connect to BCM4360 and to RTL8192eu without any problems!  Even if I can't understand how something like this could have happened I'm really glad about it.  I will mark this as SOLVED.
And thank you once again.
