bcmwl-kernel-source broken on kernel: 5.8.0-34-generic

didn't solve my issue with Broadcome wifi disappeared after updates. !

Here is a very straightforward decision.

My name is Vladimir and I have found the decision that worked for my case. So, on my Ubuntu 20.04 on HP 250G laptop with Broadcom BCM43xxxx wireless device wifi had disappeared after updating/upgrading (January 2021). After 3 days of searches and dozens of errors gotten, I have found this cure:

apt purge bcmwl-kernel-source
apt-get install broadcom-sta-source
apt-get install broadcom-sta-dkms
apt-get install broadcom-sta-common

  • This is not a question. The duplicate has this solution already https://askubuntu.com/a/1306588/167850 Why do you keep posting this/ – Pilot6 Jan 17 '21 at 10:17
  • Hi. I just wanted to prevent people from reading to long threads trying to find this decision. Any way many thanks for what you do here at askubuntu. – Vlado Che Jan 17 '21 at 10:26
  • This is a question and answer site. This is not a forum with threads. You posted this as a question. It makes no sense. And other solutions work perfectly too. – Pilot6 Jan 17 '21 at 10:27

  • I see. Good to you then. I'm a regular user of UBUNTU and find this operating system very robust and cool in spite of some issues arising from time to time. – Vlado Che Jan 17 '21 at 13:29
