Hey guys i have a macbook with zorin os 17 core installed . its a 2012 macbook. in the past there were issues wiyth wifi that used to crash the whole system if tried to swtich or restart wifi. nevertheless it was later automatically solved with a fresh install . It's been time since i had fresh install and now a few days ago system got slow and lagy at the same time it had asked for my wifi password , which should be already present and saved on system. A restart later the slow and lagy system got stable but now, every time i start my system it will ask for wifi password and no matter how many times i put it , the same dailog box will popup for password multiple times until one random time it will accept the password and connect it. just a small additonal peice of info , no matter if password is correct or not it will just bring up same box not even show wrong pwd . Since this issue has come up , i have seen youtube loading up normaly but when i try to play somthing on it , says video not avilable.
Did You take a Look in the ''Additional Drivers'' Tab in Software & Updates if there is a Driver offered?
Does Your System run in Wayland or X11/Xorg? You can check that in Settings>About.
Could You post the Output of sudo lshw -C network please?
Hey here what u wanted :

See this for Broadcom BCM43xx drivers (ZorinOS is based on Ubuntu):
Have you done that?
Yes I have been on the additional drivers tab and it's already using the propriety driver . I will go through the article soon and follow the instructions
Sorry was out of station couldn't work on my laptop, i came back a few days ago and I tried to go through article which resulted nothing, i couldn't understand where to start from , so as a simple solution I de selected this wifi card from additional drivers tab , restarted and re enabled it .. i guess that fresh install did work on that card , leme test a few days more to give a little more accurate results on it
Well it's pretty wired , every start , I have to enter wifi pwd a hundred times , like that pwd dailog just keeps popping back up as I press connect
