No, we are trying to get your wireless working since that's what your topic is about. Can you share the output of the following.

Code:

systemctl list-unit-files | grep gdm

As well as run lspci -v then go to your Wireless controller and share what "Kernel driver in use" is in use?

Weird seems PopOS uses something else to start gdm, but back to your original problem. Can you try installing the following.

Code:

sudo apt install bcmwl-kernel-source

Then reboot and share the output of.
