system upload and download error

Asked by niojedao@gmail.com

When I try to update or fux problems I get the following output:

E: bcmwl-kernel-source: subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 10

dpkg: error processing bcmwl-kernel-source (--configure):
 subprocess installed post-installation script returned error exit status 10

Errors were encountered while processing:
 bcmwl-kernel-source

I'm using a Dell Inspiron 1545 laptop with lucid linx. I would like to update but it doesn't work
