Kernel 3.14 Issues with Broadcom drivers
Morning Guys.
I am new to this forum,but I have been using kali for a medium amount of time.
I tried to search for my error via many means, yet finally I decided to post it here hoping that someboyd has an idea of how to solve this.
I recently upgraded to 3.14-kali1-amd64
Which seems to have caused a lot of error.
I tried installing my Broadcom Corporation BCM43142 802.11b/g/n (rev 01) wifi driver by various means.yet everytime I run airmon-ng eth1 start (in this case that is what my wifi driver is named as) :
As shown via iwconfig:
eth1 IEEE 802.11abg ESSID:"Hotbox 2"
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.437 GHz Access Point: AA:AA:3D:CD:A9:38
Bit Rate=26 Mb/s Tx-Power=200 dBm
Retry short limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Encryption key:off
Power Management:off
Link Quality=42/70 Signal level=-68 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
I get:
airmon-ng start eth1:
eth1 Broadcom wl - [phy0]mon0: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
Hence I thought that perhpas my driver is outdated, from which i proceeded to:
sudo apt-get install b43-fwcutter firmware-b43-installer
apt-get install module-assistant wireless-tools broadcom-sta-common broadcom-sta-source
m-a a-i broadcom-sta
And even tried:
apt-get install --reinstall broadcom-sta-dkms
Which returns an error :
Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 3.14-kali1-amd64 (x86_64)
The log file that was created shows that:

I have even tried reinstalling the linux header$uname -r)
Yet that didnt help either.
When I was running 3.10 I never had an issue with this.
I have also tried this on a fresh install and the problem still persists.
Anybody please have an idea how to resolve this?
