I am having Hp Pavilion 15 ab522TX. I have recently Installed Ubuntu 16.0.4 along with Windows 10 (Duel Boot). I am not able to access wifi in the system. It shows no wifi driver. See the wireless diagnostics log.

$ ip link

    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00

    link/ether dc:4a:3e:f5:02:f1 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

$ lshw -C network

I tried sudo apt-get install --reinstall bcmwl-kernel-source:

wl:
Running module version sanity check.

   - No original module exists within this kernel
 - Installation
   - Installing to /lib/modules/4.4.0-47-generic/updates/dkms/

depmod....

DKMS: install completed.
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert 'wl': Required key not available
update-initramfs: deferring update (trigger activated)

update-initramfs: Generating /boot/initrd.img-4.4.0-47-generic

Still there is no sign of Wifi.

Then I tried, dkms status and I got the output:

bcmwl, 6.30.223.248+bdcom, 4.4.0-47-generic, x86_64: installed

I had tried varies method posted in the community. Nothing worked.
