Finally i got the solution to my problem.
To get the wifi driver working on Macbook air (early 2015)
1st step sudo apt-get update sudo apt-get install dkms linux-headers-$(uname -r)
2nd Step Download the latest driver from below link. http://ftp.wa.co.za/pub/ubuntu/ubuntu/pool/restricted/b/bcmwl/
Note : Choose the latest one. and If you are using the 32bit version download the 32bit version of driver. and for 64bit download that one. For me i was trying to get the wifi working in kali linux, so for me i could not get the kali linux 64 to boot into my macbook air so i choosed 32bit, as it dosent matter for me eitherway because i got the base model which has only 4GB of ram.
3rd Step sudo dpkg -i (the driver name)
note: for me "bcmwl-kernel-source_6.30.223.248+bdcom-0ubuntu0.0.3_i386.deb" this was the latest driver and it worked. so for me it is sudo dpkg -i bcmwl-kernel-source_6.30.223.248+bdcom-0ubuntu0.0.3_i386.deb
and tadaa it works.. (well for me it worked)
you could try with sudo service network-manager restart and try again.
***This tutorial should work for all ubuntu and debian based Distros.***
