I appreciate you taking the time to read my post, I understand that the wifi thing is super common at the moment but so far what has worked for others isn't working for me.

I'm not sure what info you need from me, but to start with I've tried to fix my wifi.

I went to try this:

<https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/network-manager/+bug/1681513>

It was already in the file... so that didn't work. I've run dozens of commands in terminal, to no avail. I decided to check my driver for my xps13:

broadcom 802.11 linux sta wireless driver source from bcmwl kernel source (proprietary)

I did some research and ran:

```
sudo apt-get install --reinstall bcmwl-kernel-source

```

and I got this:

I'm not sure if this moving in the right direction but there seem to be a number of issues here - all I'm after at least is some advice as to what steps I should take in resolving these issues.

Thanks for your time.
