I just installed a Broadcom BCM4352 wifi on my Optiplex 9010 AIO running Linux Mint 19.3 (Ubuntu 18.04) and am using the bcmwl-kernel-source driver. It works well and is very fast, except that it requires a "sudo modprobe wl" every time I reboot. I've seen others suggest adding wl to the /etc/modules file, and I did so, but it made no difference. Any other suggestions?
Thanks for any guidance you can provide.
I think we should first find out why it doesn't load automagically as expected and why it doesn't even help to add it to /etc/modules!
Please provide the wireless info as described here. We hope we shall see and fix the problem: https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=370108
Thanks Chili --- wireless-info.tar.gz attached.
Moved to Mint
You might want to remove ndiswrapper, that is why you need to sudo modprobe wl
Jeremy,
Removed ndiswrapper, but no change --- still requires sudo modprobe wl. Thanks anyway.
Post new wireless script results please
How did you do so? I hope with:Quote:

Followed by a reboot. If you did something different, please try this and then post a new wireless info as requested.Code:sudo apt purge ndiswrapper*
That was it! [I had only used the Software Manager.] Thank you very much! Wifi now works great.
Awesome! Glad it's working. Please use Thread Tools at the top to mark Solved. The searchers will appreciate it.Quote:
