#Broadcom 43142 driver for ubuntu install
However, if I want to implement this on an Ubuntu or Mint installation that is already installed on the hard disk, it's necessary to first copy some deb files onto a flash drive from its live USB version, and then to install those deb files onto the hard disk Ubuntu or Mint installation. I simply need to type this in the terminal:Īnd the wifi gets enabled right away, even without a restart. This is what I must do on Ubuntu and Linux when I use their Live USB versions (without installing on the hard disk). Luckily, on the Ubuntu forum, I found a solution, and it turned out that the same fix can be applied on Linux Mint as well. The same scenario happened on Ubuntu and Mint as well. But in any case, none of the available WiFi networks in my surroundings are visible, and I can't set up any new Wifi connection from there. And when I click that icon I get only "Set up an open VPN" and something else which I forgot what it was exactly. When I load Manjaro Xfce from an USB stick (live USB), the icon for Networking in the system tray shows a little square with an "X" inside itself. Vendor: Dell Wireless 1704 802.11n + BT 4.0 driver: wl v: kernel The WiFi card on this laptop, according to the inxi -Fx command is:ĭevice-2: Broadcom Limited BCM43142 802.11b/g/n
However, pretty much all Linux distros have had a problem with its WiFi card and don't work out of the box with it.

I have an older laptop Dell Inspirion 3521 from 2013, which originally had Windows 7 installed (and it still works fine).
