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.

From other threads I think that bcmwl-kernel-source needs to be installed, but when I try that this happens

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.
