Still the same
You can use the same steps to remove the extra from the Items tab in Panel Preferences.
Sorry about that - I was not sure if you had that plugin so walked through the steps of adding it.
Can you run
sudo modprobe wl
to see if the module prober activates the Broadcom wireless.
No problem
I entered it, it asked for my password and I entered that and then it did nothing
If it was meant to be wi then it says module wi not found in directory
Yes, it is wl
Hmm...
@PlumpKibbles has addressed this one before and I am not certain if the b43-fwcutter is needed. Maybe he can chime in when he logs in.
For now, let's try
sudo apt install firmware-b43-installer

Ok it installed
I have to disconnect the Ethernet cable now I think I can use it tomorrow I’m not sure
No problem. We can resume later or PlumpKibbles can join in.
In the meantime, you might try rebooting and testing to see if the previous steps helped.
Yea I’ve tested that and it’s still the same so I’m not sure
The same thing happened in this video https://youtu.be/htx3c2xwL4g?feature=shared but he uses an Ethernet cable in a different video so I’m not really sure
What are the outputs of "rfkill list", "sudo dmesg | grep -i wifi", and "lspci | grep -i network"? (commands were edited in quotes to signify the whole command string)
Also what make / model machine are you using?
One more: when you did the install; did you uncheck the 'Install third-party software'? I've had some issues with drivers after a 'minimal' install myself, heh.. mostly Nvidia though.
I didn’t uncheck anything but I have a hp compaq pro 6305 small form factor
sudo dmesg showed a whole lot of stuff it also says error communicating to tpm chip and at the end it says File /var/log/journal/d70689194a0c4829b3bd9fcb47552aa3/user-1000.journal corrupted or uncleanly shutdown, renaming and replacing, rfkill list does nothing, Grep -i Wi-Fi is just doing nothing so far
