maybe we could stick to the bcm4318 :)

I usually see something like this when the wifi hardware switch on my laptop is set "off".
I copied the rfkill extension to the 5.x repo, could you check that you get something like this:

Hey Juanito!
Just did an extension update and found NO rfkill.tcz
Q: Where did you copy rfkill to?

--- Code: ---$ rfkill list wifi
0: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no

BCM4318:
--- Code: ---tc@box:~$ rfkill list wifi
0: hp-wifi: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: no
1: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: no
tc@box:~$
--- End code ---
Juanito:
Ah-ha so your wifi is blocked in software somehow - is it enabled in bios?
Could you try something like:
--- Code: ---$ sudo rfkill unblock wifi
--- End code ---
..and see if that helps
