Broadcom BCM4360 - wifi not connecting automatically on bootup

Hi,

Can someone help me understand the reasons for my wifi not connecting automatically on system bootup, please?

I have listed my system info below:

Please let me know if any extra output is needed which can help me with this issue. Many thanks in advance!

Updated 29-Jun-2021 to encapsulate text as I have just learned how to do this… :slight_smile:

Maybe more specific output would help us understand what’s going on. For example:

systemctl status NetworkManager
journalctl -b | grep -e bcma -e NetworkManager

Hi, thanks for your reply. I had to perform a clean install and the problem has changed now to being stuck on ‘Configuring Interface’. I recall seeing a thread about this somewhere, therefore to save duplicated threads, this can be closed.

Thanks,

Mark
