I recently dual booted my HP Envy 15 with Windows and Ubuntu 16.04 for some university projects, but I cannot use the Wi-Fi on Ubuntu. There isn't even an option to connect to the Wi-fi. I downloaded, installed and selected the the Wi-Fi drivers shown in the "Additional Drivers" section in the settings but that still didn't work for me. I ran this command in the Terminal

lshw -C Network

This returned the following results

 *-network UNCLAIMED

I tried these commands

lspci -knn | grep Net -A3 
rfkill list

And first command returned this

08:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM43142 802.11b/g/n [14e4:4365] (rev 01)
    DeviceName: Broadcom BCM43142 802.11bgn 1x1 WiFi Adapter + BT 4.0 combo adapter

09:00.0 Ethernet controller [0200]: Realtek Semiconductor Co., Ltd. RTL8111/8168/8411 PCI Express Gigabit Ethernet Controller [10ec:8168] (rev 10)

And the second returned this.

0: hci0: Bluetooth
    Soft blocked: yes
    Hard blocked: no

I'm new to Linux and I don't know anything about this OS. I would really appreciate it if someone helps me resolve this issue, I hate connecting to the Ethernet cable every time I need to use the Internet.
