[Bug 1509222] Re: package bcmwl-kernel-source 6.30.223.248+bdcom-0ubuntu7 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script was killed by signal (Killed)

 

I have the same problem with a Dell Latitude D620 - it has an integrated
BCM4311 wireless card:

I now upgraded to Ubuntu 15.10 (32bit) - wireless is not working. When trying to fix the issue it hangs again:
