Was having a great day, everything was working as well as it could be. Suddenly. BANG! "No Wifi Adapter Found" on my Macbook running Ubuntu 20.04. After lots of googling, and trial & error. It worked. I'm writing this in hopes that it will help someone who was in my predicament.
Step 1 : Find an internet connection. I tethered my phone to macbook with a USB cord.
Step 2: Open your terminal and run the following :
sudo apt-get purge bcmwl-kernel-source
sudo apt-get install broadcom-sta-source broadcom-sta-dkms broadcom-sta-common
Then Reboot. Should work. It did for me. Good luck.

Just curious, why Ubuntu on a Mac? (I run Ubuntu on Desktop and Laptop, but mostly because I cant stand Windows)
machine suckier. It got to the point where id have to buy a new one. I wasn't interested in spending the money and I got away from the iOS ecosystem so it felt right as I became more into linux over the last couple of years
because after the last update old macs become very slow. I have macbook pro 13 inch late 2013 (i5 8gb ram 256 ssd). With ubuntu my machine works great now which is expected.
1000x thanks man.
Just need a copy paste fix for the dummy output audio bug that ubuntu gives every update lol, thanks for this
Thanks, worked perfectly
THANK YOU. I've been troubleshooting this for an hour, these commands did the trick!
