WiFi not working from usb (Broadcom BCM43xx)

Please remember that Broadcom considers its drivers proprietary. Distributors are not permitted to include Broadcom drivers as default. End users, however, are permitted to download/Install Broadcom drivers for free.

The easiest method is by connecting using another means, for example mobile phone using Hotspot connected using USB tether. Then run in terminal:

sudo apt update && sudo apt install firmware-b43-installer b43-fwcutter bcmwl-kernel-source
