Title:
  bcmwl-kernel-source 6.20.155.1+bdcom-0ubuntu0.0.1: bcmwl kernel module
  failed to build

Status in “bcmwl” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I could not install the Broadcom Proprietary Wireless drivers on
  Ubuntu 12.04, so I tried:

  sudo apt-get clean

  sudo apt-get autoremove --purge bcmwl-kernel-source

  sudo apt-get update

  sudo apt-get install --reinstall bcmwl-kernel-source

  It appears that one of the boot modules was not found.

  I got:

  Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 3.8.0-30-generic (i686)
  Consult /var/lib/dkms/bcmwl/6.20.155.1+bdcom/build/make.log for more information
  .
  Fatal: Module wl not found.

  I'm very new to this, so I'm not 100% sure what it means (sorry).
  Please help?
