I recently installed Ubuntu 20.04.1 LTS using a Live USB on to my Macbook air from 2015 (in ubuntu hardware model reads "Apple inc.MacbookAir7,2"

Upon successful installation I noticed I couldn't access anything involving wifi. Thru my research I found that it is most likely is the wifi card though I am unsure.

I am unable to connect to wifi or hardwire an internet connection without purchasing the proper ethernet adapter for mac. Which I am willing to do if it can resolve the issue. However I wont be able to provide data that appears thru command line (at least not as detailed) here since I am posting on a different machine.

In other posts looking to resolve the same/similar issue it has been suggested to use a thumb drive between to different devices to install a driver. However they were rather outdated and were running on ubuntu 15.

Update: when running the lspci -nnk | grep 0280 -A3 command it says I have a BCM4360 802.11ac [14e4:43a0] (rev 03)

kernel driver in use: bcma-pci-bridge

(I am new to askubuntu so suggestions are welcome).
I have a similar situation with my Ubuntu 22 not finding the Broadcom Wifi adapter on a 2014 Toshiba Satellite S70t-B. I did hard wire to my T-mobile modem and was immediately connected. The settings for network give a clue mentioning wire or cable (I'm on a Lenovo laptop now and the Wifi for Ubuntu works fine on this running off the USB.)
