Title:

  failed to build

Status in “bcmwl” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Just installed 12.04. Wi-fi doesn't show on network manager (despite
  the wifi connecting during installation procedure). When I try to use
  additional drivers, the Broadcom STA wireless driver won't install.

  installed, but when I try that this happens
