i have installed linux alongside windows 10 on my laptop. After that i entered the driver search in linux and found the wifi driver - and the wifi worked correctly. I had to remove windows and reinstall linux, and now the wifi doesn't work [no drivers avavible].

More over - i can't even install packs in the terminal. When i write sudo apt-get install package name i get a message in which said that this package does not exist and I don't know what to do. Thanks.

Edit:

02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM43142 802.11b/g/n [14e4:4365] (rev 01)
Subsystem: Lenovo Device [17aa:0611]
Kernel driver in use: bcma-pci-bridge
