Upgrade to 17.10, wifi and bluetooth 'adapters' not found

Solution 1:

Please note:

Module build for kernel 4.13.0-16-lowlatency was skipped since the kernel headers for this kernel does not seem to be installed.

Let's try to install them:

sudo apt install linux-headers-generic

Now retry:

sudo apt install --reinstall bcmwl-kernel-source

Solution 2:

Wilax's colleague's solution can be simplified by installing the lowlatency headers with apt, rather than downloading a specific version. That way they'll be upgraded properly when the kernel is upgraded in the future.

sudo apt install linux-headers-lowlatency

Solution 3:

I found a workaroud for this pb :

As the pb seems to be linked with the low-latency module/kernel, I restart my PC booting on grub option (more options) .. and choosing the same kernel, but the "standart" one (none the "low latency" one)

then up-comming to the session, re-install :

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

then it's done .. WIFI be back !

Hope could help some one

Solution 4:

I appreciate your help with this, however my work colleague fixed my issue, posting it here to see if it helps anyone. (Really Simple)

Going to this website:

https://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/canonical_kernel_team/artful/main/base/linux-headers-4.13.0-16-lowlatency

Allowed me to download and install: linux-headers-4.13.0-16-lowlatency

This fired up my wifi and bluetooth drivers so it's all working as expected.
