In a live session 'ubuntu-drivers install' indicates that "All the available drivers are already installed". Additionally, the bcma kernel module is loaded and used by my broadcom device. However, no wireless device is currently available and the "Additional Drivers" section of software-properties-gtk is somewhat confusing because the two radio buttons say "Using dkms..." and "Do not use device" but "Do not use device" is selected. (I wouldn't expect the words "Using" if it isn't being used.)

Using software-properties-gtk to install the additional drivers did not end up allowing the wireless device to be available.
