I posted this question yesterday but no-one has come to my assistance.

I really need to get the wifi networks working again on my Sony laptop. I have spent all day today trawling through ask ubuntu and have tried may of the suggestions for getting my Broadcom BCM 43142 network controller working but without success. I even reinstalled Trusty Tahr from scratch but my network controller still refuses to scan my home wifi network - right now I'm connected via Ethernet, which works fine.

Please anyone HELP !!

Try installing the Broadcom BCM43142 with the Linux STA Wireless bcmwl-kernel-source (proprietary) using Additional drivers.

I had a similar problem, I solved it a month ago and I can't remember the details but here are the links I found useful: Intel wireless 8260 - unclaimed network Installing Intel iwlwifi firmware for UNCLAIMED Wireless 8260? Installing Intel iwlwifi firmware for UNCLAIMED Wireless 8260?

I have a different wireless card than yours but I do remember a forum post specifically addressing this problem with broadcom, so google around.
