broadcom wireless adapter disappears after reboot

[Patrick Castillo]

Used Updater to install additional drivers for my Broadcom wireless. It worked at first but when I booted up the next day the wifi icon was gone as if I had to wifi adapter at all.
my specs:
lspci -nn -d 14e4:
04:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries BCM4322 802.11a/b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller [14e4:432b] (rev 01)

This Below is what happens when I tried a fix that was suggested:

sudo apt install bcmwl-kernel-source
