Downloaded Ubuntu Demo, ran Broadcom driver, got wireless; Downloaded Wubi, cannot download Broadcom driver

Asked by Robert Young

Today I downloaded the 11.10 Demo onto my USB drive. I booted and used Ubuntu just fine. Top bar showed that I needed to install a BroadCom driver, which I did and got wireless internet.
I uninstalled the demo and installed Wubi for my Windows 7 system. Restarted and got into Ubuntu. Found the same driver under Additional Drivers. I went to Activate it and after I authenticated it, pop-up said that it cannot run the driver. I don't know how to view the log they sent me.

How do I update that BroadCom driver so I can get wireless capability using Wubi when I had it when I used the Ubuntu USB demo?
