Bug Description

1. Ubuntu 12.04
2. Tried installing the following: bcmwl-kernel-source=5.100.82.38+bdcom-0ubuntu6
3. I read that the current bcmwl-kernel-source has been causing issues with wireless network detection, and this workaround was suggested.
4. Instead, the following occurred during attempted install through the terminal:

sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source=5.100.82.38+bdcom-0ubuntu6
