Wifi not working on HP ProBook

Post by ppartani »

Hi

I some how screwed my Linux Mint 17.2 installation, so installed Mint18.2.
BUt now wifi is not working on it. I don't remember how did I made that worked on earlier installation. I still have access to old installation files.

My wifi adapter details:
description: Wireless interface
BCM43228 802.11a/b/g/n
vendor: Broadcom Corporation

Please help in getting it work,

Thanks in advance.

In the Easy Linux Tips Project, see the "How to solve internet connection problems" page, specifically the Broadcom chipset section.
