Title:
Broadcom BCM4356 wifi chipset firmware is not working
Status in linux-firmware package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Hello,
After upgrading to Ubuntu 18.04 I got an issue with the wifi chipset
(Broadcom BCM4356) not initializing properly.
Here is the error I got when loading the driver brcmfmac:
```

As seen here https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+question/668329, I
reverted to the previous linux-firmware version and then the wifi
chipset is working:
