There are so many duplicates because each time I upgraded packages apt
would try to install this one ... giving an error message (above) and
offering to report the bug. There are also a lot of complaints about
this on the Ubuntu forums and linuxquestions.org

This happens after installing the 2.6.35 kernel. I think some of the
dupes will be reporting that where this one reports 2.6.32 ... appears
to be due to headers and libraries not being where the package expects
them.

Broadcom used to publish a patch for this, but it is no longer available
or I would have attached a copy. That usually means it is fixed ... I'm
guessing that later releases are fine and this is an issue only for the
LTS.

Completely removing the 2.6.35 kernel allows wireless to work (though
benifits of the upgraded kernel also vanish). It seems I get to choose
between wireless and graphics on this machine (hp envy14).
