I have Ubuntu 18.04 running on an iMac 27 inch 2019 model. Works fine (had to blacklist thunderbolt in the boot options) but Broadcom Card not working.

I followed the instructions here desipte my PCI ID not being listed.

Output of lspci -vnn | grep Network is

Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries BCM4364 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter [14e4:4464] (rev 03)

Is there any support for this?

EDIT:

As requested the output from

sudo modprobe brcmfmac && dmesg | grep brcm

  • Please edit your question to show the result of the terminal command: sudo modprobe brcmfmac && dmesg | grep brcm Firmware missing?? Welcome to Ask Ubuntu. – chili555 Nov 22 '20 at 14:47
  • Amazing thak you it did work, I scoured the web for ages for that so many thanks for pointing me in the right direction. Perhaps it is out of the scope for this question but is there a similar fix available for getting apple soundcards to work? – Rob Sanders Nov 24 '20 at 08:47
  • I suggest that you ask a new question about the soundcard. Glad the wireless is working! – chili555 Nov 24 '20 at 12:07
