It's been a very frustrating week for me. I am trying to install Wifi drivers. Most of the guides available online doesn't work, may be because they were meant for old kernel or I don't know.
I have Broadcom BCM34142 Wifi adapter and please help me install it's dirvers on my Kali. I have Kali 2.0 installed on my HP laptop.
Please help and let me know if any other information of my system is required.
Thank you very much in advance
Here is the solution
I've tested this myself and it works
Works for the following:Code:# apt-get update
# apt-get install linux-image-$(uname -r|sed 's,[^-]*-[^-]*-,,') linux-headers-$(uname -r|sed 's,[^-]*-[^-]*-,,') broadcom-sta-dkms
# modprobe -r b44 b43 b43legacy ssb brcmsmac bcma
# modprobe wl
Broadcom BCM4311, BCM4312, BCM4313, BCM4321, BCM4322, BCM43224, BCM43225, BCM43227, BCM43228, BCM43142, BCM4331, BCM4352, BCM4360 devices (wl)
Thanks a lot! Worked like a charm.
Would this work in Kali 2016.1?

Yes, i tested it in kali 2016
Everything went well untill I got this
root@kali:~# modprobe wl
modprobe: FATAL: Module wl not found.
Try sudo modprobe wl!Quote:

Also relevant, I'm on a Broadcom BCM4352 card.
Scratch that, after reinstalling and running apt-get upgrade it works until I try to run modprobe wl, and now it spits out:Quote:

Also, running lsmod | grep wl returns nothing at all, and this after it tells me that I have newer/latest versions installed for all 3 when I try:
apt-get install linux-image-$(uname -r|sed 's,[^-]*-[^-]*-,,') linux-headers-$(uname -r|sed 's,[^-]*-[^-]*-,,') broadcom-sta-dkms
Hi :)
@dmrx You must have non-free repositories in your sources.list.
Then :
Code:apt-get update && apt-get install broadcom-sta-dkms
[code=root]nano /etc/apt/sources.list[/code]Quote:

Reboot in the 4.4.0 kernel :)Code:apt-get update && apt-get dist-upgrade
I've tried repeatedly to have Kali recognize the Macbook Wifi Broadcom adpaters - but keep getting stumped.
Current problem is Modprobe: FATAL: Module wl not found - any help would be greatly appreciated as I think I've followed the instructions.

Hello guys,
I have a Lenovo S10e laptop on which I installed Kali linux 2016.
When you install the driver asked me for a wireless (b43-open / ucode15.fw) that I can never find it. if you can help with this problem?

Thank you VERY much! What a pain in the a$$ it's been till I found your post. Looking forward to testing it out, just nice to see 5GHz showing up and functioning. wl supposedly allows for monitor mode? Thx again!
@HoneyFairy
Question, doesn't exactly pertain to this thread. But this was such a perfect fix, and seemingly for the Macbook Pro, so I wanted to ask you. Have you come across a fix for the screen dimming and keyboard backlighting. The F1/F2 and F5/F6 controls for them do not work with Kali2018. Was hoping maybe you knew something.
