This question has been asked before but I've tried all the other solutions and have not been having any success. I'm following this thread: Ubuntu can't detect wifi networks on macbookpro 13.3

So I downloaded the bcmwl kernel source deb file for 64 bit mac on this site: http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/core/trusty/restricted/base/bcmwl-kernel-source

I also downloaded the dkms file that is mentioned from here: http://www.ubuntuupdates.org/package/core/trusty/main/base/dkms

Then, when I follow chili555's post on sudo dpkg the two deb files, I am getting some response from the machine, but it gets the following errors:

ERROR (dkms apport): kernel package linux-headers-4.2.0-27-generic is not supported 
Error! Bad return status for module build on kernel: 4.2.0-27-generic (x86_64)
Consult /var/lib/dkms/bcmwl/6.30.223.141+bdcom/build/make.log for more information.
modprobe: FATAL: Module ml not found

As a result, when I try 

sudo modprobe wl

it says 

FATAL: Module wl not found.

Also, when I do:

lspci -nnk | grep 0280 -A2

I get:

02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4360 002.11ac Wireless Network Adapter [14e4:43a0] (rev 03)
        Subsystem: Apple Inc. Device [106b:0134]
03:00.0 Multimedia controller [0480]: Broadcom Corporation 720p FaceTime HD Camera [14e4:1570]

Please help me fix this issue!

Thanks!

I suggest that you try instead these packages which are more suitable for your 4.2.0-xx kernel.

http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/restricted/b/bcmwl/bcmwl-kernel-source_6.30.223.248+bdcom-0ubuntu8_amd64.deb

http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/main/d/dkms/dkms_2.2.0.3-2ubuntu11_all.deb

Install them as before:

sudo dpkg -i bcmwl*.deb
sudo dpkg -i dkms*.deb

Post any errors or warnings.
