You will unfortunately need to update your machine using ethernet or a USB network device to get the required fix...

Same problem here, but fixed from: https://elementaryos.stackexchange.com/questions/15842/bcm43142-and-linux-kernel-4-15-0-24-generic

"I had to download the package for 18.04LTS (https://packages.ubuntu.com/bionic/bcmwl-kernel-source) and install it using:

sudo apt-get remove --purge bcmwl-kernel-source
sudo dpkg -i bcmwl-kernel-source_6.30.223.271+bdcom-0ubuntu4_amd64.deb"

That worked perfectly for me. Fortunately, I found this solution before rebooting so I've never lost conection in the process.

btw... I'm on Ubuntu 16.04LTS
