Reinstalling LL after losing wifi due to installing updates
#5
Not really an expert on wifi problems, but let's see if we can fix this.

Edit:  If anyone else who is familiar with Broadcom problems wants to jump in, please do.

Go to Menu -> System -> Install/Remove Software to open up the Synaptic Package Manager.  Highlight "All" and "Status" on the left-hand side of Synaptic, then type "broadcom" in the "Quick filter" search box.  (If Quick filter not showing, just use "Search".  Once you do a first search in Synaptic, when you close and re-open the program it will then start showing the "Quick filter" box.)

Try to adjust size of results window so that all of the boxes shown in green show up without you having to scroll.  When you have that done, take a screenshot of the window and post it back here for us to see.  Menu -> Accessories -> Screenshot -> Active window -> OK -> Save -> then change name of screenshot to synaptic.png and save it.  (Use directions in this post for including screenshots in your reply:  https://www.freecinema2022.gq/forums/index...opic=487.0.)

Also, go to Menu -> Settings -> Install Drivers.  After it finishes loading, take a screenshot of that and post it back here.  Don't change anything with the program -- just take the screenshot, then close the window.

Lastly, open a terminal and post back output from this command:
Code:
apt-cache policy linux-firmware-nonfree bcmwl-kernel-source
