Hello All~!
I recently dug up my old Macbook Pro (Mid-2010) from its grave and decided to load Ubuntu 18.10 on it...just for fun and for the experience.
I managed to get everything up and running except for the WiFi.
I was reading up a lot on other fellow Ubuntu users having the same issues with the same wireless network adapter (BCM4322 802.11a/b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller [14e4:432b]) and followed their footsteps in resolving the issue to finally get the WiFi to detect the available WiFi networks by installing bcmwl-kernel-source. After installing bcmwl-kernel-source and going to the Software & Updates GUI to enable the usage of the proprietary driver the WiFi started to detect the available wireless networks. However, the WiFi detecting the available networks was not/is not consistent. After several reboots the computer would not detect any wireless networks again. I have purged and reinstalled bcmwl-kernel-source multiple times and checked and unchecked the usage of the proprietary driver multiple times as well and now I can't get the computer to detect any wireless networks at all.
Please advise.
I am currently using a wired Ethernet connection with no issues.

I have also attached the results of running the wireless info script.
