Public bug reported:

fresh 64-bit 16.04 Installation on HP Compaq 6720s. The drivers for BCM4311 802.11b/g was working with 14.04 and 15.10 ubuntu version. For 16.04 it is sometimes working and sometime it doesn't work. Even if it is direct by the modem it is not connecting to the modem. It is as it is not scanning.
Ubuntu Xenial Xerus (development branch)
Release: 16.04
unable to locate package pkgname
should the driver be updated?
