Title:
  additional drivers GUI or command line does not offer bcmwl-kernel
  source for my pcie broadcom wifi.

Status in ubuntu-drivers-common package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  To reproduce install lubuntu on my laptop while connected to the internet. During the install I connected with a usb realtek wifi 
  Bus 001 Device 003: ID 0846:6a00 NetGear, Inc. WG111v2 54 Mbps Wireless [RealTek RTL8187L]
   and then after the install I rebooted with the usb wifi still in and tried to download the proprietary driver for my broadcom bcm 4322a/b/n  provided by bcmwl-kernel-source. 

  Description:	Ubuntu Wily Werewolf (development branch)
  Release:	15.10
  ubuntu-drivers-common:
    Installed: 1:0.4.10
    Candidate: 1:0.4.10
    Version table:
   *** 1:0.4.10 0
          500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ wily/main amd64 Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

  I expected like I could on earlier dailies of wily use the usb wifi
  for the install and then bring up additional drivers to download and
  install bcmwl-kernel source from the additional drivers dialog.
  Instead I tried to install the propritary drivers for the bcmwl via
  the additional drivers from the prefrences menu in lubuntu but found
  only intel microcode package listed for propritary drivers and not
  bcmwl-kernel-source to use the internal broadcom wifi as an option to
  install the proprietary drivers. Manually installing bcmwl-kernel-
  source is a work around.
