New shim-signed is now on the latest images (20201021).

I'm still not clear what happened when enabling Broadcom from the
installer since it all looks fine to me. Perhaps you could try and let
us know what doesn't work with detailed steps to reproduce? (but
hopefully it does work)

  No wifi after installation - does not work with secure boot enabled

Bug description:
  After installation I noted that my broadcom wifi was not available.
  This is a regression from 20.04 where installation automatically
  installed the broadcom driver.

  So I tried to force the installation again - see trace below.

  The dialog message to enter the secure password appeared - however on
  reboot a confirmation to change the MOK state was not seen - the
  distro booted straight in.

  sudo apt install --reinstall bcmwl-kernel-source
