Hi all,
Wondered if the well known Broadcom wifi issue is now fixed or if its planned to be included in an update?
Have had to reinstall 14.04 after failing to find a fix but wondered if its worth exploring again or should I wait?
Thanks
Jon

Which bug are you referring to? I know of many issues with broadcom modules and I don't know which one I would put on top of my list

Looked at your other posts and the secure boot issue with bcmwl-kernel-source still exists. The easy fix is to disable secure boot in BIOS

Thanks Jeremy might give it another go, just wondered if an update was imminent.

Did a fresh install of 16.04 LTS after disabling secure boot and all went well.
I now have wifi and seems to be ok so far.
Thanks Jeremy, wish someone had just said disable secure boot a month ago.
