Dell Latitude Wireless driver

I was trying to get Ubuntu working on old laptop. I believed it's wireless driver issue.

Output from a couple of commands:

myhost@ubuntu:~$ lsb_release -a No LSB modules are available. Distributor ID: Ubuntu Description: Ubuntu 12.04.3 LTS Release: 12.04 Codename: precise myhost@ubuntu:~$ lspci | grp Network 0c:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11b/g WLAN (rev 01) myhost@ubuntu:~$ iwconfig eth0 no wireless extensions. lo no wireless extensions.

So I did command sudo apt-get purge bcmwl-kernel-source (Done) and command sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source (Error as below lines)

... Loading new bcmwl-6.20.155.1+bdcom DKMS files... First Installation: checking all kernels...
