Bug Description
I get the following error when installing the utopic HWE:
Examining /etc/kernel/
run-parts: executing /etc/kernel/
Error! Could not locate dkms.conf file.
File: does not exist.
Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 3.16.0-30-generic (x86_64)
Consult /var/lib/
enclosed is the actual make.log that shows the error.
Looks like bcmwl needs to be updated for trusty to allow utopic HWE to be installed correctly

sudo dpkg -i bcmwl-kernel-
sudo reboot --
