Hello can you please help me, i have installed Kali linux 2018.1 on my USB with 16 GB sd card , so it is working but there is no installed Broadcom driver . now i have tried everything you write above but always get the same error : modprobe: ERROR: could not insert ‘wl’: Unknown symbol in module, or unknown parameter (see dmesg). please help

hello,
i have installed kali and even after updating it always shows this
Package linux-headers-4.14.0-kali3-amd64 is not available, but is referred to by another package.
This may mean that the package is missing, has been obsoleted, or
is only available from another source

E: Package ‘linux-headers-4.14.0-kali3-amd64’ has no installation candidate.
please help me to install headers and wlan available to me.

If you cant apt update try disabling you anti-virus.
I couldnt get it to update because my anti-virus on my real pc was blocking the website it needs to connect to on my VM.

Hey there, I am also facing the same problem with 2018.1 . I think installing with USB has something to do with this. Can you share your sources.list file with us here? I know there is one in the kali.org official site but I want to see one yours. I am also getting the no installation candidate error. Help plz.

guys facing the same issues since i m using kali linux. all the above mentioned solution didn’t work for me. using by vbox. please help for wifi driver install.

Worked brilliantly on my Kali.
Both my WiFi and Bluetooth are now working.

apt update && apt dist-upgrade
apt install gdebi linux-headers-4.14.0-kali3-amd64
wget http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/non-free/b/broadcom-sta/broadcom-sta-dkms_6.30.223.271-7_all.deb
gdebi broadcom-sta-dkms_6.30.223.271-7_all.deb
modprobe wl
2018.1

before airmon-ng it turned out wlan0mon and now wlan0 and prism0 how to fix it?

Is this what works now for the latest Kali version? Trying it out now.

I have found a way to download the packages on a different laptop and install them on the Kali Linux 2019 laptop to fix the WIFI driver issue for Broadcom BCM43142

Copy the Packages to the Kali Linux laptop and install them

sudo dpkg -i dkms_2.7.1-1_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i broadcom-sta-dkms_6.30.223.271-10_all.deb

I have wasted a lot of time on this and hope this helps someone solve their problems faster!

2019.4 worked thanks.
2020.1 cant worked.

took me 2 days to figure the problem and find you — your an absolute legend thanks man

It worked on 2020.2 Kali Linux using Broadcom (BCM43142) wifi card.
The commands I used is the upper one. Thank you for this command!

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

If it get this error when typing «modprob wl».

modprobe: FATAL: Module wl not found in directory /lib/modules/n.n.n-kalin-amd64

Then, for my laptop, it just need to reboot PC and it successfully installed on the PC.
Problem solved!

For Debian Buster, it also works as well. Thank you for these commands!

How to Install WiFi driver for Broadcom BCM43142 WiFi device in GNU/Linux Distros

Getting proprietary WiFi drivers to work in GNU/Linux distros can be a pain sometimes. This time we’re going to deal with such a proprietary driver for the Broadcom BCM43142 WiFi device. Let’s take a look at how to install WiFi driver for Broadcom BCM43142 WiFi device in popular GNU/Linux distros such as Debian, Ubuntu, Fedora and Arch Linux. First of all let’s make sure we’re having the Broadcom BCM43142 WiFi device. For that let’s make use of the lspci command as follows:

If you are having the Broadcom BCM43142 WiFi device then you will get an output somewhat like follows:

0d:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Limited BCM43142 802.11b/g/n [14e4:4365] (rev 01)

If you get the above output then we are good to continue.

How to install WiFi driver for Broadcom BCM43142 in Debian and Debian-based distros like Ubuntu

sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install broadcom-sta-dkms

The advantage of using a dkms driver is that you don’t need to manually update the driver everytime you upgrade your kernel!

Dynamic Kernel Module Support (DKMS) is a program/framework that enables generating Linux kernel modules whose sources generally reside outside the kernel source tree. The concept is to have DKMS modules automatically rebuilt when a new kernel is installed.

Hai, I am using HP 250 G4 laptop in which I installed Ubuntu. But, my wifi adapter is missing.
Tried for two days resolving the issue myself searching the internet but failed.
The commands given by you worked finally. Now I able to use wifi.
Thank you very much.

Ok. I don’t want to be rude nor insulting…..but has no one considered, that if you’re able to UPDATE and INSTALL anything then you’re ALREADY CONNECTED? and thus activating the wifi is not much of an issue? What about when you CANNOT CONNECT to your wifi?…how are you supposed to “apt-get” ANYTHING!? I do wish that sometimes the folks who write articles would be more considerate of the newbie who is not familiar with Linux! Is there an article where someone can find out how to install this if they DON’T have wifi!?

This procedure fixed my problem so I consider it a godsend. I guess they did forget to say plug in an ethernet cable and do the apt-get, but very few people wouldn’t know to do that.

I’ve just tried this with the trial version of Ubunto 19.10 (running a live session from a USB stick drive) and it didn’t work. I followed the instruction to type: lspci -nn | grep -i network and it came back with this result: 02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Limited BCM43142 802.11b/g/n [14e4:4365] (rev 01) However after typing: sudo apt-get update
followed by: sudo apt-get install broadcom-sta-dkms
.
.. I got the following results: Reading package lists… Done
Building dependency tree
Reading state information… Done
E: Unable to locate package broadcom-sta-dkms Please can you advise if there is any remedy for this?

Unfortunately it didn’t solve my problem. I’m trying to use WiFi on a macbook white 2008 with Linux Mint 20 Xfce. But it’s irritating. have tried many ways of solution and nothing happens.

Just in case, i’m using a MacBook White 2008, Linux Mint 20 Xfce. Broadcom BCM43142 WiFi device and newest version (6.30.223.271-12) installed. i guess maybe the kernel version could be the problem. What do you think?

Most laptops and desktops have wired ethernet connector.
Else use different computer to download the *.deb file.

# To know which package to download from kali repository
uname -rv (# Gives kernel version and linux version) # For (eg. 5.7.0-kali1-amd64 Debian 5.7.6-1kali2) download these
linux-kbuild-5.7_5.7.6-1kali2_amd64.deb
linux-headers-5.7.0-kali1-common_5.7.6-1kali2_all.deb
linux-headers-5.7.0-kali1-amd64_5.7.6-1kali2_amd64.deb # You can download the packages manually by navigating on any browser to
http://http.kali.org/kali/pool/main/l/linux # Install downloaded packages in correct order
sudo dpkg -i linux-kbuild-5.7_5.7.6-1kali2_amd64.deb
sudo dpkg -i linux-headers-5.7.0-kali1-common_5.7.6-1kali2_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i linux-headers-5.7.0-kali1-amd64_5.7.6-1kali2_amd64.deb # Download and install dkms package (Google it)
sudo dpkg -i dkms_2.6.1-4_all.deb # Download and install broaddcom-sta-dkms package
sudo dpkg -i broadcom-sta-dkms_6.30.223.271-14_all.deb # Run the driver
sudo modprobe -r b44 b43 b43legacy ssb brcmsmac bcma sudo modprobe wl # Done…..

It has been useful to me. I did the first connection through usb with the iphone hotspot. Worked from the box in Debian 10.

I’m with you. I’m trying to install Manjaro on an old Toshiba Satellite that doesn’t have an ethernet port. How do I get the drivers on?

bro, you guys are the best and the only website that knows how to explain in a easy way how to configure this wifi shit! i love you for ever, going to make a video on youtube explaining how to configure this BCM43142 on fedora that is a pain in the ass, i have been here for 4 hours and wishing i found you earlier. thanks a lot

The assumption is that you have a wired connection to the network (a physical ethernet cable connecting the computer to the router).

Hi thank you for this very useful howto. I would mention that (for Ubuntu based distros at least) one has to install also the correct kernel headers. Under Ubuntu (I have elementary OS which is Ubuntu based) one can find the kernel version with uname -r and then install the headers with sudo apt install linux-headers-5.15.0-58-generic (replace 5.15.0-58-generic with your uname -r output).
