I recently decided to change my OS on my HP Stream 11 from windows 10 to Ubuntu. Upon installation, it was obvious that Ubuntu works faster, so I figured it was a good idea to keep it. Problem however, it does not recognize my wifi. Also, the right click on the touch pad does not work. How can I fix that? 

 lspci -knn | grep Net -A3; rfkill list   
02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries BCM43142 802.11b/g/n [14e4:4365] (rev 01)

Kernel driver in use: wl
Kernel modules: bcma, wl

Thank you!

I also switched an HP Stream 11 from Windows 10 to Ubuntu 18.04 (and later upgraded it to 18.10), While the wifi part I didn't have a problem (and I believe you found some help in the comments), the issue with the touchpad right click got me frustrated as well.
The thing is that in Ubuntu 18.04 the defaults for the touchpad is to use finger clicks to define the mouse click, i.e. one finger click is a regular left click and a two finger click is a right click (and a three finger click is a middle button click), once I got used to it I left it by the default as I find it much easier to use than to be limited by the bottom part of my touchpad.
Try installing the gnome-tweaks and configuring your desired behavior.
gnome tweaks mouse settings
