hi you have installed the broadcom driver,now console or terminal :insmod '/lib/modules/5.7.7-zen/kernel/extra/wl.ko' btw this is mine you have the blaze module so you have to go in extra directory on your current kernel version lsmod show you the load of driver after this you can start with your software to connect iw or wicd or network manager
bash-5.0# lsmod

stp 16384 1 garp
psnap 16384 0
llc 16384 3 psnap,stp,garp
this show you the module of wl is loaded,please try in this way, the wifi card is on the driver list so you have to connect to wifi

hi have you installed the blaze kernel that match the brodcom-sta driver if yes, after you have installed the broadcom driver you have to load the module located in the /lib/modules/5.7.7-zen/kernel/extra/ ok this is mine,after this passage you have to load the .ko module in console with insmod check if is loaded with lsmod ad try iw if the wifi card is up.
the kernel version and the brodcom-sta must be the same version, try the blaze kernel version

1. Replace kernel to 5.4.50 from this post
2. Copy to modules folder dkms-2.8.1-x86_64-1cf.xzm and broadcom-wl-dkms-6.30.223.271-5.4.50-porteus-x86_64-1bl.xzm
3. Reboot and test.

I see the latest patch 010-linux56.patch for kernel 5.6.x only.

Hi kushagratandon,
now you can build the driver yourself using my script on different kernels.

BTW, I renamed topic title for quick search solutions with Broadcom BCM43142 802.11b/g/n (rev 01) Linux wifi driver.
