Recently repurposed Macbook Pro (7,1) as ubuntu station.
Wireless wasn't working. ubuntu-drivers recommended bcmwl-kernel-source.
Installed as recommended.
Not reliable on boot. Mostly wlp2s0 Scan_results error (-22).
After some research discovered that firmware-b43-installer supports
chipset on this Mac.
from
apt-cache show firmware-b43-installer
<snip>
Supported chipsets:
* BCM4306/3;
* BCM4311;
* BCM4318;
* BCM4321;
* BCM4322 (only 14e4:432b);
* BCM4312 (with Low-Power a.k.a. LP-PHY).
</snip>
After purging bcmwl-kernel-source, installing firmware-b43-installer,
wireless works fine.
suggest that firmware-b43-installer be a listed option for bcm4322
(14e4:432b) in ubuntu-drivers
