I just installed Ubuntu 22.04.1 on my Dell XPS 13 (9343, 2015 model), replacing Windows. I am unable to connect to WiFi networks, the message "No WiFi Adapter Found". I have tried trouble shooting a few different ways:
- Uninstalling and reinstalling Broadcom drivers
sudo apt remove broadcom-sta-dkms bcmwl-kernel-source
sudo apt install firmware-b43-installer
- I also tried the below, but the /etc/init.d/networking command could not be found.
rfkill unblock all
sudo /etc/init.d/networking restart
sudo rm /etc/udev/rules.d/70-persistent-net.rules
sudo reboot
System information:
- Confirmed from the system BIOS:
- Secure Boot in UEFI is enabled
- Wireless Switch enabled (WLAN)
- Wireless device enabled

Many thanks to @chili555 & @ChanganAuto for finding the solution:
- Install correct driver with:
sudo apt update && sudo apt install -y bcmwl-kernel-source - Ensure UEFI is disabled
- Result of
