Bug Description
The control file is not setup for PAE installs. When ubiquity installs pae kernel & generic-pae headers. The problem is it expects just generic headers.
I've created a deb to fix the issue.

Hi Jerone,
The proposed fix is incorrect; the bcmwl driver is not specific to generic|generic-pae in any way, so while it fixes your *current* issue, this should be correctly fixed using the more general Depends: linux-headers-
I'm rejecting the uploaded package from the lucid queue. Feel free to upload again with a corrected package; I don't guarantee that this will be accepted for final since this is not a critical fix, but it's also self-contained and straightforward so will be given consideration once RC is out.
