I reinstalled OS and then this solution https://askubuntu.com/a/624746/492421 have worked. I am sorry, but my question is a duplicate.

Abstract:
Ubuntu detects wireless interface, but menu does not show any wireless network.
Details:
I have installed Ubuntu on MacBook pro early 2015. The appropriate drivers for my wifi are installed (according to this question WIfi Issues with Macbook Pro Retina Early 2015 (12,2) on Ubuntu 15.04). My device is
~$lspci -nn | grep 0280 03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM43602 802.11ac Wireless LAN SoC [14e4:43ba] (rev 01)
and it seems, that Ubuntu sees wireless interface
~$ sudo lshw -C Network *-network description: Network controller product: BCM43602 802.11ac Wireless LAN SoC vendor: Broadcom Corporation physical id: 0 bus info: pci@0000:03:00.0 version: 01 width: 64 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: pm msi pciexpress bus_master cap_list configuration: driver=wl latency=0 resources: irq:18 memory:c1400000-c1407fff memory:c1000000-c13fffff *-network description: Ethernet interface product: NetXtreme BCM57762 Gigabit Ethernet PCIe vendor: Broadcom Corporation physical id: 0 bus info: pci@0000:0a:00.0 logical name: ens9 version: 00 serial: ac:87:a3:38:54:a8 size: 1Gbit/s capacity: 1Gbit/s width: 64 bits clock: 33MHz capabilities: pm vpd msi msix pciexpress bus_master cap_list rom ethernet physical tp 10bt 10bt-fd 100bt 100bt-fd 1000bt 1000bt-fd autonegotiation configuration: autonegotiation=on broadcast=yes driver=tg3 driverversion=3.137 duplex=full firmware=57762-a1.10 ip=130.223.51.185 latency=0 link=yes multicast=yes port=twisted pair speed=1Gbit/s resources: irq:19 memory:cda00000-cda0ffff memory:cda10000-cda1ffff memory:c1a00000-c1a0ffff
Therefore I do not get, why the menu with possible connection does not show any wireless networks (only Ethernet cable). I also installed next to unity KDE, and in the both cases, the list is blanc.
I also tried to install what is recommended here, Ubuntu can't detect wifi networks on macbookpro 13.3 but without any change of output (it is different wifi if I understood right, not wonder it has not worked).

Shekhar almost 7 yearsMy experience was same @KamilSJaron . Reinstall + sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source fixed it for me. This is Ubuntu 17.04 on Macbook pro 11,1

Kamil S Jaron almost 7 yearsI kind of solved the problem already. But, if you want this answer to be useful for others, you might want to explain what the commands so and why it might resolve problem with wi-fi.

Sandeep over 6 yearsThe instructions mentioned in the accepted answer didn't work on Macbook Pro (Ubuntu 16.04). Hence I added these commands.

Sandeep over 6 yearsb43-fwcutter installs necessary broadcom firmware to enable the wifi device. modprobe ensures that the appropriate kernel modules are loaded in the system.

Pilot6 over 6 yearsThis answer is wrong. 1) Installing
b43-fwcutter
doesn't do anything useful without installing the firmware itself. 2)b43-fwcutter
doesn't install firmware forbrcmfmac
orbrcmsmac
. 3) Modprobing all broadcom related modules you know is not useful. -
Pilot6 over 6 yearsIt depends on the wireless adapter. Some of them need
wl
, some need others. -
Sandeep over 6 yearsThe instructions I used worked for me, hence added them as a possible answer. I don't think it is a wrong answer. Please review your comments.

Sandeep over 6 yearsInstall either firmware-b43-installer or firmware-b43legacy-installer
