I am new to the ubuntu operating system and for some reason after installing it I do not see any wireless connections. My system uses:
02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Limited BCM43142 802.11b/g/n [14e4:4365] (rev 01)
So far I have tried
1.Turn off the secure boot
2.Remove bcmwl-kernel-source
sudo apt-get purge bcmwl-kernel-source
3.Re-install bcmwl-kernel-source and the kernel header:
sudo apt-get install linux-generic bcmwl-kernel-source
4.Reboot
sudo reboot
After I reboot, nothing changes at all.
When I run: sudo lshw -C network
This is what I get for the network controller:
*-network UNCLAIMED
description: Network controller
product: BCM43142 802.11b/g/n
vendor: Broadcom Limited
physical id: 0
bus info: pci@0000:02:00.0
version: 01
width: 64 bits
clock: 33MHz
capabilities: pm msi pciexpress cap_list
configuration: latency=0
resources: memory:b0500000-b0507fff
I believe the network controller driver is not installed properly, therefore not working but I am not sure.
Can anyone suggest anything to try and get this to work.
Thank you!
