I was trying to get Ubuntu working on old laptop. I believed it's wireless driver issue.
Output from a couple of commands:
myhost@ubuntu:~$ lsb_release -a
No LSB modules are available.
Distributor ID: Ubuntu
Description: Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS
Release: 12.04
Codename: precise
myhost@ubuntu:~$ lspci | grp Network
0c:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN (rev 01)
myhost@ubuntu:~$ iwconfig
eth0 no wireless extensions.
lo no wireless extensions.
Then I google it and found article to reinstall wireless driver at Installing Broadcom Wireless Drivers
So I did command sudo apt-get purge bcmwl-kernel-source
(Done)
and command sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source
(Error as below lines)
...

Any suggestion to fix it? Thanks First.
