Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM43142 802.11b/g/n

I have Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM43142 802.11b/g/n on my computer.
I've tried to install packages like broadcom-wl b43-firmware , but the pacman said that these packages aren't available. I've tried to get the driver from the broadcom's site, but it didn' t worked, too. Can you tell me how to install this driver?
Thanks in advance!!!

Mod note: not a kernel & harware issue, moved to N.C.

I've read this article bit it didn't worked, too.

What didn't work? Can you provide some logs or output of what you did?

dimozavar · 2016-01-17 16:10:22

The script that I used is:
#/usr/bin/env bash

# Install some pacakages we'll need to compile the driver below.
sudo pacman -S gcc base-devel

# Create working dir for Broadcom driver files and patches.
mkdir hybrid_wl_f23

# Change to working dir.
cd hybrid_wl_f23

if [ 'x86_64' == `uname -m` ]; then
# 64-bit driver files.
FILE='hybrid-v35_64-nodebug-pcoem-6_30_223_271.tar.gz'
else
# 32-bit driver files.
FILE='hybrid-v35-nodebug-pcoem-6_30_223_271.tar.gz'
fi

# Download Broadcom Linux Wi-Fi driver.
wget http://www.broadcom.com/docs/linux_sta/$FILE

# Extract driver files.
tar zxvf $FILE

# Compile driver.
make clean && make

# Install driver.
sudo make install

# Update available drivers.
sudo depmod -a

# Unload conflicting drivers.
sudo rmmod b43 ssb bcma

# Load the driver.
sudo modprobe wl

# Blacklist conflicting drivers.
printf 'blacklist b43\nblacklist ssb\nblacklist bcma\n' | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/wl.conf

# Load driver automatically at boot time.
echo 'wl' | sudo tee /etc/modules-load.d/wl.conf

# Connect to a Wi-Fi network via NetworkManager...

Looks like a clusterfuck, please format your post with code tags and add some comments!

Where did you find that script? Why do you think this is a good idea?
Why are you not installing https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/b43-firmware/ using the information Trilby linked?
What in this article did not work? https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Broadcom_wireless

Please fix your post using BBCode code tags. This link is also available under every message post box on the forums for your reference.

No, reading it and doing something entirely different will not suffice. You need to follow the instructions in the wiki.
