package bcmwl-kernel-source 5.60.48.36 bdcom-0ubuntu3 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

I was attempting to install the driver in a live usb session to confirm wireless will work with my Dell Mini 9 and this is the error I got. I was using the hardware drivers applet to install. This makes me wonder if lucid will work for me on my mini as I will not install it without wireless working.
