Wifi and Bluetooth are not working after installation of ubuntu 18.04


I have dell vostro 3446 version in laptop machine. I have now installed ubuntu 18.04 version. After that bluetooth and wifi has been stopped working. Even camera also stopped working. I think it has some missing drivers. Before than that I had ubuntu 16 LTS version, both bluetooth,wifi was working fine. Please suggest some better and easy solution for the same.

Output of some of the basic commands :
$ lspci -nnk | grep -iA3 net

Since it's a Dell, there's a good change it has a Broadcom wireless chipset. In the Ubuntu control center or software center (I'm not quite sure where they are hiding it these days), look for something called "Additional Drivers" and see if that helps recognize the wireless chipset.

You will find other useful diagnostic tools in this post: https://www.linuxquestions.org/quest...ux-4175434970/
