package bcmwl-kernel-source 5.60.48.36+bdcom-0ubuntu3 failed to install/upgrade: bcmwl kernel module failed to build

Ubuntu release 10.04.1 LTS i386

Expected a smooth install of Broadcom wireless card driver, instead got error message saying it failed to build.

I had it running on a previous install of Ubuntu 10.04, but then I updated through the Update Manager and was unable to boot (used Wubi to install initially). Reinstalled Ubuntu using the new Wubi, and now I can't get my wireless driver to install.
