I apologize if this is a silly question, but how do I tell my firmware to recognize the wifi hardware?
I have limited experience with Linux and not terribly familiar with Mac. My inlaws gave us a Mac, nice machine, but I don't like OSX. I made a flash drive and replaced OSX with Kubuntu 18.04. I have not had too much trouble with it, other than that I cannot get the wifi figured out for the life of me. I had to manually configure the ethernet connection as well, but that was much easier to muddle through. I have tried to manually configure the wifi also, under System Settings>Connections. It allows me to enter the information and save the connection, but it does not actually work at all.
The short version of what I tried: lspci shows network device Broadcom 802.11 etc, so it recognizes the actual hardware exists.
lshw -class network shows the same device.
rfkill list all only shows bluetooth (not blocked), does not reflect the wireless network device at all.
See below for details.
I did these:
sudo lshw -class network
lspci
rfkill list all

I think I am missing something. I am going to try to install network manager I guess, based on the script in the second link it appears that is missing. I'm flying from the seat of my pants here. Any assistance would be very greatly appreciated. Thank you!

In your last two links you are pasting the source code for the scripts you ran, not the output from the scripts. I don't have the Broadcom WiFi but you can search here and find lots of questions and answers about "BCM" (the broadcom adapter). You can get a blue Ethernet cable and plug it in between your laptop and your router to skip the whole WiFi thing until you get it working.

ok thank you, and I will check again. Like I said, noob here :) I have been browsing these threads for two days, and trying different things - and the ethernet is fine. I just need to get this mac out of the living room and back into the office! Its not a laptop, it is an all-in-ine desktop and the wire running across the room is cumbersome. Ill update if and when I figure it out and post what I did.

Yeah cables are cumbersome. I bought a 25 footer just so it goes from the coffee table behind the couch and along the bottom of three walls to the router. You can buy them up to 300 feet long.

I am absolutely thrilled, finally got it!!! This is what I did, for reference if anyone else stumbles on this and has this issue with a Mac or PC with broadcom wifi hardware (in the computer). I did these 3 things: sudo apt-get autoremove bcmwl-kernel-source sudo apt-get --purge remove bcmwl-kernel-source sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source

You can take your comment and use it to answer your own question. Then accept it in two days. Then others will know what works... Congrats :)

I think I am missing something. I am going to try to install network manager I guess, based on the script in the second link it appears that is missing. I'm flying from the seat of my pants here. Any assistance would be very greatly appreciated. Thank you!

In your last two links you are pasting the source code for the scripts you ran, not the output from the scripts. I don't have the Broadcom WiFi but you can search here and find lots of questions and answers about "BCM" (the broadcom adapter). You can get a blue Ethernet cable and plug it in between your laptop and your router to skip the whole WiFi thing until you get it working.

ok thank you, and I will check again. Like I said, noob here :) I have been browsing these threads for two days, and trying different things - and the ethernet is fine. I just need to get this mac out of the living room and back into the office! Its not a laptop, it is an all-in-ine desktop and the wire running across the room is cumbersome. Ill update if and when I figure it out and post what I did.

Yeah cables are cumbersome. I bought a 25 footer just so it goes from the coffee table behind the couch and along the bottom of three walls to the router. You can buy them up to 300 feet long.

I am absolutely thrilled, finally got it!!! This is what I did, for reference if anyone else stumbles on this and has this issue with a Mac or PC with broadcom wifi hardware (in the computer). I did these 3 things: sudo apt-get autoremove bcmwl-kernel-source sudo apt-get --purge remove bcmwl-kernel-source sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source
