Anyone who has hardware that requires the broadcom-sta kernel module,
please try the latest experimental ISO from 20150102 you'll get at
http://nightly.tails.boum.org/build_Tails_ISO_feature-jessie/
(currently building, not available yet). Thanks in advance.
I attempted to test this. Here are my results.
I downloaded tails-i386-feature_jessie-1.3-20150101T2100Z-8d179dd.iso
(the ISO file).
I set up a virtual machine in Parallels. I used the ISO file as a
virtual optical drive. I booted Tails Linux from this optical drive.
This yielded a Tails Linux environment. I performed the rest of these
steps from a sudo bash prompt in this environment.
I did "apt-get update"
I did "apt-get install broadcom-sta-dkms"
I attempted to use the graphical program "Tails Installer." This appears
to be broken, so I could not proceed any further. I attempted to use the
Tails Installer several times. I used two different flash USB drives. I
tried to format these drives in various ways, such as ext2, FAT32 with
Microsoft MBR table, and also with the entire drive wiped out as follows:
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/sdb count=1024
The Tails Installer directed my attention to the file
/tmp/liveusb-creator.log. The rest of this email consists of the content
of this log file.

You will need to delete this partition or resize it in another utility.
