I have a Lenovo e10 30, the WiFi is not working. When I go to Software and Updates under the Additional Drivers tab; this device is using an alternative driver, and the driver that it is using is the Broadcom propriety driver.

Ubuntu 18.04 does not show the wireless card, only the ethernet network is working.

Can this problem be fixed?
I have included the output for sudo lshw -c network

  • Welcome to [AU](https://askubuntu.com)! what the output of `sudo lshw -C network`? please [edit](https://askubuntu.com/posts/1106615/edit) your question including that output. – abu-ahmed al-khatiri Jan 03 '19 at 15:37
  • We'd also like to see the result of two more commands: `sudo modprobe wl` and also: `rfkill list all` Welcome to Ask Ubuntu. – chili555 Jan 03 '19 at 15:58

  • seems not to be a dupe of that... driver cannot be loaded. – Zanna Jan 04 '19 at 17:38
