Sure thing! Tip: consider adding a reportbug template to src:wpa to indicate 
users to gather this info before filling bugs.

0c:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Limited BCM4322 802.11a/b/g/n Wireless 
LAN Controller (rev 01) using broadcom-sta-dkms to get the proprietary driver 
(sadly the libre one hangs too much). Note: I've checked with both the testing 
and sid versions of broadcom-sta-dkms and both fail in the same way.

I could not make the systemd override file, but stopping the service and 
running it by hand gave me:

# /sbin/wpa_supplicant -d -t -u -s -O /run/wpa_supplicant

This log happened while trying quite a lot of times to connect.

As an interesting note: even if I was running wpa_supplicant "by hand", after 
downgrading the package in order to be able to send this mail I had to reboot 
the computer to make it work.

Of course feel free to send more more debugging tips as you need.

Thanks!
