Public bug reported:

I was upgrading my Ubuntu Xenial 16.04 from linux-hwe kernel 4.13.0-38
to linux-hwe-edge 4.15.0-13.

After reboot my Broadcom network adapter (requiring package
firmware-b43-installer) is not recognized by the new kernel 4.15.0-13.

Running the lspci command lists the device as 'UNCLAIMED' in linux
kernel 4.15.

The circumstances of this bug is well described on this webpage:

https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=234122

Furthermore a patch has been provided upstream:

https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10185397/
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvalo/wireless-drivers.git/commit/?id=a9e6d44ddeccd3522670e641f1ed9b068e746ff7

But is still not implemented in any Ubuntu release.

If this is not corrected on time, then the new Bionic 18.04 will fail to
connect to Internet and the local network as well if it uses a Broadcom
network adapter requiring the package firmware-b43-installer.

  The circumstances of this bug is well described on this webpage:
  
  https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=234122
  
  Furthermore a patch has been provided upstream:
  
  https://patchwork.kernel.org/patch/10185397/
  
https://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/kvalo/wireless-drivers.git/commit/?id=a9e6d44ddeccd3522670e641f1ed9b068e746ff7
  
  But is still not implemented in any Ubuntu release.
  
  If this is not corrected on time, then the new Bionic 18.04 will fail to
  connect to Internet and the local network as well if it uses a Broadcom
  network adapter requiring the package firmware-b43-installer.

Title:
  Broadcom B43 Wireless Driver Not Functional after Update to Linux
  Kernel 4.15

Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I was upgrading my Ubuntu Xenial 16.04 from linux-hwe kernel 4.13.0-38
  to linux-hwe-edge 4.15.0-13.

  After reboot my Broadcom network adapter (requiring package
  firmware-b43-installer) is not recognized by the new kernel 4.15.0-13.

  Running the lspci command lists the device as 'UNCLAIMED' in linux
  kernel 4.15.
