package bcmwl-kernel-source 5.60.48.36 bdcom-0ubuntu5 failed to install/upgrade: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 1

I don't know exactly what happened, but I could not install the proprietary drivers for my Lenovo Ideapad S12. It requires the Nvidia proprietary drivers and the Broadcom STA wireless drivers. This is a 12.1 inch netbook of sorts and I'd love to have ubuntu on it instead of windows 7 home premium. Those are the only 2 problems that I have with switching over the system.
