Just forwarding my reply to intrigeri to y'all. Here's what I did to get the BCM43142 drivers for Kali Linux working. <This info is from http://www.chokepoint.net/2014/04/installing-broadcom-bcm43142-drivers-on.html >
1. Get driver from Broadcom site 2. Untar it 3. Get patch file from Mindwerks 4. Patch 5. Make driver 6. Copy wl.ko to /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/net/wireless 7. Remove bcma module 8. Blacklist bcma 9. Insert wl 10. Connect to wireless network. This all worked fine on Kali, and so I took the files and tried it on Tails 1.1, did everything up till make, had a hard time with that, I don't recall ever getting it to make in Tails properly (I don't know much about make so I couldn't do much troubleshooting), so I made it in Kali and saved the files, bumped over to Tails, and resumed at step 6. I couldn't blacklist bcma module though because the blacklist.conf file doesn't exist. After step 9 I could see my wireless networks with all their details, but when I try to connect it just loops, always failing (on both a WPA2 and open).
