I am using Ubuntu 16.10 and I have a problem with the drivers for BCM43142 (14e4:4365). I have already installed Broadcom-STA. Version v6.30.223.271 which I got from: http://de.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/pool/multiverse/b/broadcom-sta/ using dpkg. (4th version) But it still does not work.
~$ sudo dpkg -i ~/Downloads/broadcom-sta-common_6.30.223.271-4_all.deb
