I've installed Ubuntu 22.04 on HP laptop and the wifi option is no gone from the settings, and not working anymore.
I know this question was asked many times before, but I've been searching and trying for hours now and I couldn't find any answer that works for me.
I've tried solutions provided by @chili555 and @Luis Alvarado and installed both bcmwl-kernel-source and firmware-b43-installer with no luck.
Here is the results from the wireless-info.txt
