https://unix.stackexchange.com/questions/175810/how-to-install-broadcom-bcm4360-on-debian-on-macbook-pro

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install broadcom-sta-*
sudo modprobe wl
echo "wl" | sudo tee -a /etc/modules

Do not forget the -a in the tee command or you will overwrite the whole file!!

If it doesn’t work right away, reboot and it should be fine.

This is because MacBook Pro uses a Broadcom Wifi driver which is not open source and so you will have to download and install it yourself.

To do so, open a terminal (Ctrl+Alt+T) and run the following commands:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get --reinstall install bcmwl-kernel-source
sudo modprobe -r b43 ssb wl brcmfmac brcmsmac bcma
sudo modprobe wl

Note: for this a working internet connection is required.

IF did not help – try

sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source
