The WiFi connection on my HP Stream11 has stopped working since I installed the updates that I received this morning. How do I undo the update or get the wifi working again?

Perhaps you miss to update wireless driver.
Run these two commands for wifi to work in Ubuntu.
wget http://archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/restricted/b/bcmwl/bcmwl-kernel-source_6.30.223.271+bdcom-0ubuntu1~1.3_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i bcmwl-kernel-source_6.30.223.271+bdcom-0ubuntu1~1.3_amd64.deb

2What makes you think this will work? Does the OP have a card supported by this driver? I assume you are suggesting they download and install a driver, right? Why this one?– terdonSep 20, 2018 at 17:40

1@terdon The OP already commented in a previous answer to this question which was unfortunately deleted by the owner due to undeserved downvoting as follows: I am using the internal wifi but the code suggested has fixed the problem. I do not understand why the update stopped the wifi working but all is fine now. I know the cause of the downvoting of the deleted answer, but this is not an appropriate topic for public consumption, so if you want to know this story you can private mod PM me.– karelSep 21, 2018 at 1:23
