During the install of Ubuntu-MATE 18.04, I got WiFi working and it downloaded all the things it needed to complete the update. After re-booting to the installed disk, I can't get WiFi to work. I go to place to install 3rd party drivers and see the Broadcom driver. I click it and click install. It always reverts to no 3rd party drivers and says Broadcom is not working. If I reboot after that, it isn't there. Any suggestions?

    Please [edit] your question and add output of `lspci -knn | grep Net -A3; rfkill list` terminal command. – Pilot6 May 09 '20 at 16:24

Run in a terminal

sudo apt purge bcmwl-kernel-source
sudo apt install firmware-b43-installer
