Can't connect to Wifi in Ubuntu Gnome 14.04

Question

I just switched from windows to linux today so I'm a noob at this. Now, I'm running Ubuntu Gnome 14.04. I can't find any network icon on the top bar which is mentioned in the GNOME Help manual. I looked up a few tutorials and they keep mentioning that I need to install some extra driver or something like that. Any help?

I typed the command lspci -knn | grep Net -A2terminal

In the terminal and this is the output:

07:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM43142 802.11b/g/n [14e4:4365] (rev 01)
    Subsystem: Foxconn International, Inc. Device [105b:e071]
    Kernel driver in use: bcma-pci-bridge

Please [edit] your question and add output of lspci -knn | grep Net -A2 terminal command. — Pilot6, Jul 05 '15 at 12:51
Press simultaneously Ctrl+Alt+T. Terminal window will open. Enter there the command and post output to your question. It will show what wireless adapter you have. And we will advise how to install a driver for it. — Pilot6, Jul 05 '15 at 13:01

You need to connect to internet by wire and run in terminal

sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source

If you can't connect by wire, use OFFLINE GUIDE
