Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears to be a "regular" (non-security) bug. I have unmarked it as a security issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy. Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

Title:
  An internet dowload of broadcom deb installer failed to install
  through Sotware Center http://computerandu.wordpress.com/2011/05/04
  /how-to-solve-no-wireless-networks-in-ubuntu-11-04/

Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: software-center

  The file was downloaded from http://computerandu.wordpress.com/2011/05/04/how-to-solve-no-wireless-networks-in-ubuntu-11-04/
  1) release 11.04
  2) Software center 4.0
  3) The download was suppose to install the wireless driver. The progress and then show complete.
  4)The download came down, showed progress then halted close to finishing and then displayed error and asked me if I want to report.
  In addition I love the new menu in ubuntu 11.04 but the wireless will not install properly. I tried the additional driver and it installed "sta wireless ..." however didn't work upon restart. I tried installing from Synaptic this time not even the wired connection would work. So I uninstalled once more and tried the web download and this is the result. 

  FYI I am running UBUNTU from my jump drive, i created using the
  universal installer from windows platform.
