Yep, this is "a problem" for me running Hirsute Lubuntu on both my mac '09 MBP and just now tried to check it on my '12 cMP in Lu 21.04 and tried to "add the driver" via Add'l drivers and it would not install the driver . . . .
It's less of a problem on the desktop unit, because it is plugged in, both appear to be using BCM4322 wifi units . . . but, this problem is a "show-stopper" for for laptop . . . must have wifi capability in that machine. Wifi was working fine as of this recent Wed night, logged into Lu 21.04 .. . connected to wifi, saw that there was a large "794 package upgrade" available, ran it through the wifi . . . but on reboot, wifi was "gone" . . . . Fortunately at that location I could use ethernet, but yesterday at my other part-time job, no such luck . . . no capacity for wifi. Today I messed around with it and found that as this post mentions "bcmwl-kernel-source" package is "not friendly" with the kernel???
