"Enable Wifi" is missing on my Ubuntu 16.04. This happened after I upgraded from 14.04. It was all fine on 14.04
The driver is enabled already in Additional Drivers (BCM43142)
I have tried many suggestions from AskUbuntu. Some suggested restarting the network service manager to get temporary solution but even that doesn't work.
