cannot install driver after installing os

[opensas]

I've just installed Ubuntu 17.04 from usb
I go to additional drivers
And select "Using Broadcom 802.11 Linux STA wireless driver source from bcmxl-kernel-source (propietary)
Click Apply Changes
Enter my pasword

But then, the same dialog appears showing the driver is not in use, and the wifi won't work.

The same procedure worked ok from the live cd

Have been experiencing this from version 15.04 onwards, version 14.04 seemed to work fine.

I found this workaround asking as askubuntu (https://askubuntu.com/questions/632907/cannot-use-wifi-broadcom-802-11-alternative-driver-in-ubuntu-15-04)

From the installation media install
pool/restricted/b/bcmwl/bcmwl-kernel-source_6.30.223.271+bdcom-0ubuntu2_amd64.deb
pool/main/d/dkms/dkms_2.3-3_all.deb
with dpkg -i *.deb

I guess that running it from the Additional drivers dialog should be giving some error...
