Hey there, I am also facing the same problem with 2018.1. I think installing with USB has something to do with this. Can you share your sources.list file with us here? I know there is one in the kali.org official site but I want to see one yours. I am also getting the no installation candidate error. Help plz.

guys facing the same issues since i m using kali linux. all the above mentioned solution didn't work for me. using by vbox. please help for wifi driver install.

Worked brilliantly on my Kali.
Both my WiFi and Bluetooth are now working.

apt update && apt dist-upgrade
apt install gdebi linux-headers-4.14.0-kali3-amd64
wget http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/non-free/b/broadcom-sta/broadcom-sta-dkms_6.30.223.271-7_all.deb
gdebi broadcom-sta-dkms_6.30.223.271-7_all.deb
modprobe wl
2018.1

before airmon-ng it turned out wlan0mon and now wlan0 and prism0 how to fix it?

Is this what works now for the latest Kali version? Trying it out now.

I have found a way to download the packages on a different laptop and install them on the Kali Linux 2019 laptop to fix the WIFI driver issue for Broadcom BCM43142

download dkms package from https://packages.debian.org/sid/all/dkms/download
download the Broadcom BCM43142 drivers from https://debian.pkgs.org/10/debian-nonfree-amd64/broadcom-sta-dkms_6.30.223.271-10_all.deb.html

Copy the Packages to the Kali Linux laptop and install them

sudo dpkg -i dkms_2.7.1-1_all.deb
sudo dpkg -i broadcom-sta-dkms_6.30.223.271-10_all.deb

I have wasted a lot of time on this and hope this helps someone solve their problems faster!

2019.4 worked thanks.
2020.1 cant worked.

took me 2 days to figure the problem and find you - your an absolute legend thanks man

It worked on 2020.2 Kali Linux using Broadcom (BCM43142) wifi card.
The commands I used is the upper one. Thank you for this command!

apt-get update
apt-get install linux-image-$(uname -r|sed 's,[^-]*-[^-]*-,,') linux-headers-$(uname -r|sed 's,[^-]*-[^-]*-,,') broadcom-sta-dkms
modprobe -r b44 b43 b43legacy ssb brcmsmac bcma
modprobe wl

If it get this error when typing "modprob wl"...

modprobe: FATAL: Module wl not found in directory /lib/modules/n.n.n-kalin-amd64

Then, for my laptop, it just need to reboot PC and it successfully installed on the PC.
Problem solved!

For Debian Buster, it also works as well. Thank you for these commands!
