Broadcom BCM4360 wifi adapter not working with ubuntu on on macbook pro 11,3.

[Steve Chamales]

Mid-2014 Macbook Pro, internal wifi adapter (Broadcom BCM4360) not working with Ubuntu. Have to attach a USB wifi stick or connect to other computer / tablet / smartphone by bluetooth and use its internet connection through the bluetooth connection.

Any help much appreciated!

You seem to be using an old version (6.30.223.30+bdcom-0ubuntu3) of the bcmwl driver. This bug was fixed as bug 1358966, last year. Fix released in bcmwl 6.30.223.248+bdcom-0ubuntu2.

Not sure why your system has such an old version installed.
