Title:
  Cannot install proprietary Broadcom WiFi drivers on Ubuntu Studio
  Kinetic

Status in software-properties package in Ubuntu:
  In Progress

Bug description:
  Hardware: HP Elitebook 8570p, 16 GB RAM, 120 GB SSD, 3rd Gen Intel
  Core i5, UEFI, no secure boot, Broadcom WiFi.

  OS: Ubuntu Studio Kinetic, Final ISO

  Steps to reproduce:

  1. Boot the Ubuntu Studio ISO on a system with Broadcom WiFi, and install the 
system normally. (No encryption, allow Internet access during installation 
using some method of connectivity other than WiFi.)
  2. Reboot and log into the newly installed system.
  3. Open a terminal and run "sudo software-properties-kde".
  4. Click "Additional Drivers" in the window that pops up.
  5. Click "Using Broadcom 802.11 Linux STA wireless driver source from 
bcmwl-kernel-source (proprietary)".

  Expected result: The Apply Changes button should become clickable,
  allowing the user to install the driver.

  Actual result: The button remains grayed out, and the following error
  message is printed in the terminal:

  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File 
"/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/qt/SoftwarePropertiesQt.py",
