So, the latest ubuntu is out with the latest linux kernel and broadcom brcmsmac drivers.
As it happens the brcmsmac drivers suck. You can see the list of active wifi networks but won't be able to connect to them.
If the output of:
lspci -k | grep brcmsmacincludes:
Kernel driver in use: brcmsmacThen you have this problem too.
To solve this, you'll need to install broadcom-sta driver and blacklist the default kernel one.
sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-sourceThen open /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist-bcm43.conf and add these lines:
blacklist brcmsmac blacklist bcmaRestart and check that:
lspci -k | grep wlincludes:
Kernel driver in use: wlThat should fix your wifi.
Hope ubuntu devs fix this and push out updates soon.
Bye!
