bcmwl-kernel-source no longer works on hwe kernel

[Scott Testerman]

bcmwl-kernel-source worked correctly on the original 16.04 LTS kernel, but no longer works on the hwe kernel (4.10.0-33). I am using the b43 open source driver temporarily in order to file this report.

Mistaken identification of affected package. After reinstalling 16.04(.0) I have verified that bcmwl-kernel-source is not involved. Marking this bug invalid.
