I just followed the instructions to install Broadcom Drivers,every thing is working but at last instruction sudo apt-get install <bcmwl-kernel-source>,it just say:

Reading package lists... Done
Building dependency tree       
Reading state information... Done
E: Unable to locate package bcmwl-kernel-source

And no thing happened after I rebooted my system. I use Ibuntu 15.04 and pci id is [14e4:4365] (rev 01)

  1. Add restricted component repository 

    sudo add-apt-repository restricted

  2. Update packages list

    sudo apt-get update

  3. Confirm that you have kernel headers installed and updated

    sudo apt-get install linux-generic

  4. Then install it again

    sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source
user.dz
