it seems the package is incompatible with the 4.7 kernel, which it's shows when booted in it and trying to reinstall.
there is in issue open here: https://github.com/longsleep/bcmwl-ubuntu/issues/17 I tried to build that version and after installing I got: Unpacking bcmwl-kernel-source (6.30.223.271+bdcom-1longsleep0) over (6.30.223.248+bdcom-0ubuntu8) ... Setting up bcmwl-kernel-source (6.30.223.271+bdcom-1longsleep0) ... Loading new bcmwl-6.30.223.271+bdcom DKMS files...
