And can you share the output of the following?
Code:
lspci -vvnn | grep -A 9 Network

Strange it looks like the driver is loaded but your system is not recognizing the device anyways. Can you also share the output of the following.
Code:
lsmod | egrep "bcma|wl"
 
Can you try installing the following package and then reboot your system.
Code:
sudo apt install bcmwl-kernel-source
And then share the output of the following again.
Code:
ip a

Your ethernet connection still works right?
 
Try removing those packages and then reboot.

sudo apt remove broadcom-sta-common broadcom-sta-dkms broadcom-sta-source
Then show the output of.
