Project Wild Penguin 20.4.2017: Wifi Connection Bug in Xubuntu 17.04

After updating my Xubuntu to latest version 17.04, I've found out that my wifi was disabled. No wifi connections were being shown in the indicator plugin. On googling, I've found out that there is a bug in the latest release. So to fix the bug, I followed the steps mentioned in one of the solutions provided by the good folks at askubuntu.com. The steps given were as follow: Open terminal and run: sudo vim /etc/NetworkManager/NetworkManager.conf   At the bottom of the file, copy and paste the following: [device] wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no     Then just save and close the file and run: sudo service network-manager restart Check if Wifi is enabled or not. If it is still not enabled, go to Softwares & Updates > Additional Drivers > Click on Do not use the device under Broadcom Wireless Drivers as shown in the image below.      5. Click on Apply Changes and then restart the system, the Wifi should be enabled now. Hope...
