The problem seemed to be with my wifi configuration.
I'd been using the 2.4GHz radio. Perhaps the settings,
based on Apple recommendations, weren't the best.

In any case, by enabling the 5GHz radio with AC mode,
WPA2-PSK and 80MHz signal width my BCM43228 associated with
the router and received an IP address.

Thanks for your attention!
