I reinstallled my Ubuntu just now and i typed to CMD rfkill list but it showed this:

0: ideapad_wlan: Wireless LAN
        Soft blocked: no
        Hard blocked: no

And after lspci-knn | grep Net -A2 it showed this:

01:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM43142 802.11b/g/n [14e4:4365] (rev 01)
    Subsystem: Lenovo Device [17aa:0611]
    Kernel driver in use: bcma-pci-bridge

So what i am supposed to do if my wifi doesnt work (my pc cant find any) and i dont have connection to internet only on my mobil phone.

  • If you can't connect to internet, then refer to http://askubuntu.com/questions/626642/how-to-install-broadcom-wireless-drivers-offline – Pilot6 Oct 11 '15 at 10:06
  • IDK what to do with this: sudo dpkg -i *.deb ... this sign * means that there i must type full name of that file what i want to install? Becouse i did it and i got error – user3396072 Oct 11 '15 at 10:22
  • Just run this command as it is. it will be substituted itself. Or type in the file name, if you have other deb files there. – Pilot6 Oct 11 '15 at 10:23

Install the proprietary BROADCOM Linux drivers.

Open a terminal and execute: 

sudo apt-get update  
sudo apt-get install dkms
sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source  
sudo reboot

When you don't have Internet access or cannot connect to a router via Ethernet adapter - install BROADCOM Wireless Linux STA drivers offline, following this guide from @Pilot6: offline install
