I'm also seeing the same problem on a Dell XPS 13 9343 - Wifi is suddenly non-functional, whereas it'd otherwise been working fine for many years (I'm unsure exactly when the problem started, as I mostly use my laptop via wired ethernet, but it's definitely broken within the last couple of weeks). I've tried booting the previous kernel 3.19.0-80-generic from the grub boot menu, but that also results in non-functional wifi. I've included (hopefully) relevant info below, but please let me know if there's anything else I can do to help. $ cat /etc/issue Ubuntu 14.04.5 LTS \n \l $ uname -a Linux shyknee 3.19.0-82-generic #90~14.04.1-Ubuntu SMP Thu Feb 23 01:12:44 UTC 2017 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux $ sudo lshw -C network *-network UNCLAIMED description: Network controller product: BCM4352 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter vendor: Broadcom Corporation physical id: 0 bus info: pci@0000:02:00.0 version: 03 width: 64 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: pm msi pciexpress cap_list configuration: latency=0 resources: memory:f7200000-f7207fff memory:f7000000-f71fffff *-network description: Ethernet interface physical id: 2 logical name: eth1 serial: 00:50:b6:0f:5d:ca size: 100Mbit/s capacity: 100Mbit/s capabilities: ethernet physical tp mii 10bt 10bt-fd 100bt 100bt-fd autonegotiation configuration: autonegotiation=on broadcast=yes driver=asix driverversion=22-Dec-2011 duplex=full firmware=ASIX AX88772B USB 2.0 Ethernet ip=192.168.0.54 link=yes multicast=yes port=MII speed=100Mbit/s $ sudo apt-get purge bcmwl-kernel-source Reading package lists...
