Reinstalling LL after losing wifi due to installing updates

[bitsnpcs]

Hello AZ,

Source - 'Varun'

The sta driver won't support your card, the native b43 will. Please purge the sta driver package and install the firmware for b43 instead -

Code:

sudo apt-get purge bcmwl-kernel-source
sudo apt-get install linux-firmware-nonfree

Then unload (if already loaded) and reload the b43 driver-

Code:

sudo modprobe -rv b43
sudo modprobe -v b43

Remove ethernet cable.
Reboot machine.
