[Bug 1624765] Re: wifi broke after 16.04 upgrade
Hello Joseph, Thanks for looking into the fix. Sorry for late reply as I was busy traveling. You asked me to install 4.4 so I just tried to install it but during install it failed and so I reported a new bug at : https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/bcmwl/+bug/1635904 So, how to move forward? Here are the errors trying to install headers. (Installing image worked fine): sudo dpkg -i linux-headers-4.4.14-040414-generic_4.4.14-040414.201606241434_amd64.deb (Reading database ... 331190 files and directories currently installed.)

Would it be possible for you to test the latest upstream stable kernel? Refer to https://wiki.ubuntu.com/KernelMainlineBuilds . Please test the latest v4.4 stable kernel[0]. If this bug is fixed in the mainline kernel, please add the following tag 'kernel-fixed-upstream'. If the mainline kernel does not fix this bug, please add the tag: 'kernel-bug-exists-upstream'. If you are unable to test the mainline kernel, for example it will not boot, please add the tag: 'kernel-unable-to-test-upstream'. Once testing of the upstream kernel is complete, please mark this bug as "Confirmed". Thanks in advance.

[Bug 1624765] Re: wifi broke after 16.04 upgrade
apport information ** Tags added: apport-collected ** Description changed: I upgraded from ubuntu 14.04 LTS to ubuntu 16.04 LTS. My wifi was working fine in previous version. But, after upgrade wifi broke. It won't show any wifi networks and I couldn't enable wifi from ubuntu panel on top right corner. I tried almost all suggestions in this page and few other askubuntu pages with same problem: http://askubuntu.com/questions/62166/siocsifflags-operation-not-possible-due-to-rf-kill But, nothing worked. Here is my console output: ~$ sudo rfkill list 0: dell-rbtn: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: yes Hard blocked: yes 1: phy0: Wireless LAN Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no 7: hci0: Bluetooth Soft blocked: no Hard blocked: no Then, I ran "sudo rfkill unblock wifi" but that didn't fix anything. Finally, the only thing that worked was: sudo modprobe -r dell-rbtn I don't even know if this is the right way to fix it. Please fix the 16.04 kernel and OS upgrade package so that other users don't face this problem that cost me 2 days. Thank you.

[Bug 1624765] Re: wifi broke after 16.04 upgrade
After upgrade, my hardware switch for wifi (accessed by Fn + function key) stopped working. But, all other function keys to control display brightness, volume, mute have been working fine. There are some pages on askubuntu.com which discuss the same problem that I have. But, they talk about re-installing broadcom drivers, etc. I checked mine and I seem to have a qualcomm device instead of broadcom.
