I've tried dozens of advices, mostly from askubuntu, about disabling secure boot, purging and reinstalling bcmwl-kernel-source, followed guide for signing bcmwl-kernel-source, tried changing bcmwl-kernel-source for fcutterb43, etc. Nothing is working. No wifi after yesterday's update.
Whenever I reboot, I see this in the consoles -- though it flashes by really fast. Whenever I install something or update/upgrade, I see this. Whenever I do anything about modprobe or install bcmwl-kernel-source, this is the culprit:
libkmod: ERROR ../libkmod/libkmod-config.c:635 kmod_config_parse: /etc/modprobe.d/local.conf line 2: ignoring bad line starting with 'drm_kms_helper'
When running $ sudo modprobe wl I get the above, plus:
libkmod: ERROR ../libkmod/libkmod-config.c:635 kmod_config_parse: /etc/modprobe.d/local.conf line 2: ignoring bad line starting with 'drm_kms_helper' modprobe: FATAL: Module wl not found in directory /lib/modules/4.4.0-42-generic

More info per @Chili555 's request:
lspci -nnk | grep 0280 -A2
libkmod: ERROR ../libkmod/libkmod-config.c:635 kmod_config_parse: /etc/modprobe.d/local.conf line 2: ignoring bad line starting with 'drm_kms_helper'
3a:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Limited BCM4350 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter [14e4:43a3] (rev 08)
Subsystem: Dell BCM4350 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter [1028:0023]
Kernel driver in use: brcmfmac
cat /etc/modprobe.d/local.conf
options drm_kms_helper poll=N
drm_kms_helper
options drm_kms_helper poll=N
Remove this local.conf
by
sudo rm /etc/modprobe.d/local.conf
This file has a wrong format.
If you really need this setting (I have no idea why you added it), the correct format of that file is
options drm_kms_helper poll=N
You need to remove the first two lines.
Regarding the wireless adapter do not install bcmwl-kernel-source
. This adapter is supported by brcmfmac
in kernels 4.4+. It may be blocked by rfkill
though.
