Workaround is to deactivate/remove broadcom-sta-wlan driver in system settings, additional drivers. Reboot and nm connects again. IMO such a break of wlan shouldn't happen with an LTS in particular when new customers should be convinced to use Ubuntu. Query the error message, it finds plenty of users who were trapped.
