Okay, so you've installed the bcmwl-kernel-source package and that's the driver being used with 4.13 (and likely it did blacklist bcma). I suspect that when you install hwe-edge or the 4.16 kernel you got some messages about the dkms build for the driver failing, but perhaps you didn't notice them.
The dkms drivers do not get fixed immediately for a new hwe-edge kernel. It will be fixed in time, but for the moment your options are to either stick with the 4.13 hwe kernel or remove the bcmwl-kernel-source package and use the driver built into the kernel. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1760108 Title: Broadcom B43 Wireless Driver Not Functional after Update to Linux Kernel 4.15 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1760108/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
