How to get and install the Broadcom Wifi driver for version 18.04

[abdulbadii]

I just installed Ubuntu Mate 18.04 on a HDD partition and was performing impressively. The problem is now it has no any driver for wireless and since my H/W brand is broadcom, I have to get the driver and need it to get installed correctly.
Anyone have come across this and solved the problem, so would share the solution to me ?
Thanks in advance

Take a look at the Broadcom page here -

Broadcom wireless tip

This may be of some help if you have a Broadcom wireless chip in your laptop. This has been used countless times when I’ve installed Ubuntu on my own and my friend’s laptops. In terminal, first do sudo lshw -class network then lspci -vvnn | grep 14e4 to find out if there is a Broadcom (BCM4311) controller. If you have access to an ethernet connection, then do the following: sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer sudo apt-get remove bcmwl-kernel-source sudo reboot A…

Good luck @abdulbadii

Because of no internet connection from Wifi on Linux, I download anything via Windows with its perfect WL driver.
So I got “broadcom-sta-dkms_6.30.223.271-8_all.deb” and “dkms_2.3-3ubuntu9_all.deb” because the latter is required to satisfy the first and the first is required to satisfy the bcmwl-kernel-source, but when I installed, it gave an error sort of:

dependency not satisfiable : gcc

even though gcc-7-base and gcc-8-base all completely installed perfectly
Any idea that is closer to the right path to solve this?

Note, there are several different Broadcom drivers.

The ISO contains a pool of packages, including a package for the wl driver. This should be installable via the standard ‘additional driver’ tools.
