Hi, I installed the new version of ubuntu (18.04) in an external hard drive and I run it in my macbook pro 2018.
Since the installation I wasn't able to connect to internet (I authenticated myself and it looped, my credentials were okay, but the connection was never established, and also the wifi bars appear to be very weak) and so i've been trying in different forums to fix this, but I've come to a point in which not even the wifi icon appears.
I didn't had the wl, when I used modprobe it returned FATAL error, but I was able to include it and excecute the modprobe command.
I found a wireless script and I executed it, I'm attaching it hoping someone can help me with this issue.
