 @tttomat19, Welcome!
 @wxl23, Yes, broadcom here; ie: BCM43142
 sometimes i have to use nmcli to connect
 https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx
 @wxl23, thanks
 That's only supported by the proprietary driver which you have to explicitly install
 noted
 no worries
 That's true across all of the Ubuntu flavors and derivatives
 Which is to say it's not an LXQt and/or Lubuntu issue
 noted
 Most distros won't ship proprietary software. That said, it's a general Linux issue
 Or rather an issue with Broadcom not generally supporting open source
 @Sam, but i think that im facing the same problem like sam the network applet not quit intuitive because it only said connected
 *quite
 that's why i usually have to use nmcli rather than network applet
 I would expect erratic or incomplete behavior from the chip given the fact that whatever driver you might be using doesn't fully support it.
 What driver are you using?
 checking
 vendor: Broadcom Corporation
 Ok so you are running the right thing if you're on Xenial or later
 So if there is a bug, figure out how to clearly reproduce it, and then file a bug report.
 yes 16.04
 In other words, you should be able to follow the exact same steps on a freshly installed system and see the exact same results
 It also might be wise to try a newer version and see if it has the same problem
 17.10 is a good start?
 I'm sure the applet has been updated and I know the wl driver has been
 Yep

 @Dave K, Welcome!
 it's been awhile since I've been actively contributing but hopefully on the "better late than never" side I thought I would try to reconnect and see whether I can be helpful now that things have calmed down in my life
 @drkokandy, Awesome :D
