Can't build package for Broadcom Wireless

[Tom Detzel]

Binary package hint: gnome-nettool

I'm trying to get my laptop wireless working. I used both the package manager and terminal to add the broadcom package. This is the error message I get:

I'm running Ubuntu 10.10 on a compaq presario v2000

Hello
Are you experiencing again problems with the latest kernels?
Thanks

Problem was: could not get wireless to work at all.
   I have now loaded/ upgraded to 11.10 (about 3 weeks ago 1st week of Oct.) Wireless now works, but the wireless light on the keyboard does not work yet (at all) as it does with earlier versions of Ubuntu . That's not a problem, as I can see the Icon on screen that I'm on line. It seems to log on to the Internet faster than my 10.10 now. (i.e. it is on line as soon as the screen comes up) 11.10 takes longer to log off though. I'm running dual boot either 10.10 or 11.10. Over all, 10.10 is faster as I have trouble with the buttons on the left side always popping up as I move the mouse to use the back arrow at the top left corner, sometimes they will not go away.
    Thanks for the follow up.
