That's https://tails.boum.org/support/known_issues/#broadcom-sta-dkms
as https://wiki.debian.org/wl lists this chipset.

I suspect they simply include a proprietary driver, which is not an
option for Tails as per our Social Contract. Also, last time we
checked that driver broke MAC spoofing.

So I suggest finding a USB Wi-Fi dongle supported by Tails. Sorry!
