I have an HP 430 G1 laptop. It originally had Windows on it. I installed Ubuntu Desktop on it. I am able to connect to wifi. No Problem here. Ethernet port is not working.

I wanted to install ubuntu server on it and wanted to tinker around. But I cant get the wifi to work on Ubuntu server.

I have done following

  1. Configure netplan
  2. This one does not work because wlan0 i enter in config does not exist.
  3. I did iw dev to get devices, but it comes up empty
  4. Then I found these two links install Broadcom drivers Link1 and Link2
  5. for above links to work I have to get it on USB and put it on my sever machine.
  6. But USB drive shows special device /dev/sdb1/ does not exist (a path prefix is not a directory)
  7. seems like I am in dead lock situation

I have installed multiple different OS on this laptop in past 2 days. Proxmox Backup Server - USB works here, I can mount and get it data from it on the machine but wifi absolutely does not work here. Please suggest some way to get on the internet.

Edit1: ubuntu-20.04.3-live-server-amd64 and ubuntu-20.04.2.0-desktop-amd64 these are the ISO's I have
