The most recent "fixs" that I have found and tried to no avail. first things first secure boot was deactivated then the following steps were taken.
sudo apt update
sudo apt dist-upgrade
reboot
no luck, also tried.
sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install broadcom-sta-dkms
reboot
no luck again
as well as others that have seemed to fix the problem for other people but still not me. I have installed pastebin and have run
wget -N -t 5 -T 10 https://github.com/UbuntuForums/wireless-info/raw/master/wireless-info && \
chmod +x wireless-info && \
./wireless-info
as another forum suggested but I am unsure where to go or what to do next. Help please!
