WiFi connection doesn't work in Ubuntu 16.04
0
I've installed Ubuntu 16.04 on my laptop, WiFi connection doesn't work,
after searching I found that run following commands and then restart the machine solve the problem.
sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer
sudo apt-get purge bcmwl-kernel-source
But this issue happened each time I shutdown the machine. So, it's not reliable to do this each time!!
Update:
Output of grep b43 /etc/modprobe.d/* command is:
/etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf:# replaced by b43 and ssb
Output of rfkill list command is:
0: acer-wireless: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no

It makes no sense to do it each time. These commands remove a wrong package and installs the correct one.sudo modprobe b43will be sufficient. But I think the problem is thatb43is blacklisted manually. Please post output ofgrep b43 /etc/modprobe.d/*to your question.

This means that the problem was that you installed a wrong driver. Don't to it again. It is suggested, but still don't.

No need to do anything if it works now. Otherwise add ablabla.conffile to/etc/modprobe.dcontainingmodprobe b43.
