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-

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.
