Public bug reported:
I have a Dell XPS 13 with a Broadcom 4352 wireless adapter. Previously I
have was able to install broadcom-sta-dkms 6.30.223.248-3 (and its
dependency dkms 2.2.0.3-2ubuntu3) on Ubuntu 14.04.2 but it will not
install on 15.04 Beta 2 with kernel version 3.19.0-10-generic. The
wireless adapter will not work without this package.
When I install the package I get the following output to the console:
sudo dpkg -i broadcom-sta-dkms_6.30.223.248-3_all.deb
(Reading database ... 171045 files and directories currently installed.)

I want to use 15.04 as it fixes other problems on the Dell XPS 13, such
as the sound and microphone not working in 14.04. Please can you give me
an idea of how I might install the package. e.g. if there is a
workaround.
Many thanks
Paul Hudson
