    Thank you [= I went through your profile just now - you're helping everyone! Who knows, maybe we'll talk again - I'm about to ask for help in a different subforum here... (trying to install a different desktop environment has kind of screwed some things around here)

    Re: no WiFi networks on Ubuntu Macbook (Broadcom)

    Thank you so much for this -- just wanted to say that this advice worked for me, too, with slightly different specs:
    MacBook Pro Late 2012
    Ubuntu 18.04 with Linux kernel 4.15.0-29-generic
    sudo lshw -C network says my Broadcom is BCM4331

    I had already tried a bunch of things, including reinstalling bcmwl-kernel-source, but what got it to work was following the first part of wildmanne39's advice and rebooting. I didn't have to follow the second part with purging broadcom-sta-dkms. When I rebooted my wifi options were showing!! Thank you!!

    TYVM! I did the wireless script in your signature then the codes as you said... works perfectly!

    Running Ubuntu 19.04 on a Macbook Pro mid 2010
