Severity: important

Dear Maintainer,

Kernel was upgraded to 5.2.0-2 on 08/09/2019. I booted into my Debian Unstable partition today and WiFi was not working. I received no notification that wireless networks were available and left mouse clicking on the network manager applet showed no options for wireless. Booting into kernels 4.19.0-5 or 4.19.0-4 results in working WiFi.

I've checked kernel.log and I'm not seeing anything that stands out. I've checked syslog and I found the following, although I don't know if it's an issue:

Aug 13 17:58:39 debian-unstable NetworkManager[691]: <info> [1565733519.5033] NetworkManager (version 1.20.0) is starting... (for the first time)

You can close this. There is no bug. Evidently, the post install script either didn't, or failed to, update the kernel to include the wireless module. Steps I took to resolve the issue:

1. Install the module-assistant package:

sudo apt install module-assistant

2. From the command line, run:

sudo m-a prepare

3. From the command line, run:

sudo apt reinstall broadcom-sta-dkms
