There is a mistake in the first command you ran.
Run it again and please post the result (copy paste it).

Try this.
Plug an ethernet cable to get internet, open terminal and run the following commands:

sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source
sudo modprobe -r wl
sudo modprobe wl

Wait 5 seconds and then check the network manager to see if you can connect to wireless networks.
A reboot may be required.

Thanks, this works
udo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source

That was oke, i did not need the second and the thirt command, that did nothing.

PS: i forgot how to mark the topic as solved?

Glad I helped.
I marked the topic and solved.

The system was updated, then after reboot - no wifi network available - I am losing my mind due to this issue - I Pulled the info if anyone can help me please
