Furthermore I would like to know what driver I should use and which to keep blacklisted. On this webpage:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/broadcom_wireless I see the following: Device inaccessible after kernel upgrade ---------------------------------------- Since the 3.3.1 kernel the bcma module was introduced. If using a brcm80211 driver be sure it has not been blacklisted. It should be blackisted if using a b43 driver. If you are using broadcom-wlAUR, uninstall and reinstall it after upgrading your kernel or switch to broadcom-wl-dkms package. >From the Broadcom doc. available at: I have this entry 14e4:4331 firmware-b43-installer firmware-b43-installer <--- Broadcom Limited BCM4331 802.11a/b/g/n meaning the driver to use is in package 'firmware-b43-installer' (a b43 driver) So, from what I see I shouldn't use bcma ... in /etc/modprobe.d/blaclist-bcm43.conf I have # Warning: This file is autogenerated by bcmwl.

If this is not corrected on time, then the new Bionic 18.04 will fail to connect to Internet and the local network as well if it uses a Broadcom network adapter requiring the package firmware-b43-installer. --- ApportVersion: 2.20.1-0ubuntu2.15 Architecture: amd64 AudioDevicesInUse: USER PID ACCESS COMMAND /dev/snd/controlC1: pascal 5050 F.... pulseaudio /dev/snd/controlC0: pascal 5050 F.... pulseaudio CurrentDesktop: Unity DistroRelease: Ubuntu 16.04 HibernationDevice: RESUME=UUID=440a3ee3-af65-48fc-9289-ffd7bcc60a9a InstallationDate: Installed on 2018-03-08 (21 days ago) InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 16.04.3 LTS "Xenial Xerus" - Release amd64 (20170801) MachineType: Gigabyte Technology Co., Ltd.
