i spent 1 week and eventually got this link.
http://www.kalilinux.net/community/threads/how-to-make-broadcom-bcm43142-wireless-card-work-in-kali.814/
i followed each n every step in this fantastic tutorial for WiFi.
i could not get exact output of some commands according to tutorial(perhaps due to different kernel) but hey eventually i succeed in changing mod to "wl" by "modeprobe wl"
now i can connect to known WiFi but the problem is --> i cant use "Injection Mode"
here are the details->


root@kali:~# airmon-ng

Interface Chipset Driver

wlan0 Broadcom wl - [phy0]

root@kali:~# airmon-ng start wlan0
Found 2 processes that could cause trouble.
If airodump-ng, aireplay-ng or airtun-ng stops working after
a short period of time, you may want to kill (some of) them!
-e

wlan0 Broadcom wl - [phy0]mon0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device

(monitor mode enabled on mon0)
root@kali:~# airodump-ng mon0

Step 2: install wifi driver?..Be more specific.

Just try installing linux-headers and broadcom-sta-dkms. (you already did as you posted)

Then make sure wireless-tools package is installed (it should be installed. (aptitude show wireless-tools). If not, install it.

Then remove the modules that might conflict : modprobe -r b44 b43 b43legacy ssb brcmsmac

Then, load the module created by DKMS (wl): modeprobe wl

See if it works.
