Pascal Fürst, thank you for reporting this and helping make Ubuntu
better. Could you please provide the missing information following
https://help.ubuntu.com/community/WifiDocs/Driver/bcm43xx#Broadcom_STA_Wireless_driver
?
** Description changed:
- Hello, I've got a Broadcom bcm43142 Wifi-Adapter in this machine. The
- only driver that kind of works was
-
- bcmwl-kernel-source 6.30.223.248+bdcom-0ubuntu1 which is not in
- the official repositories.
-
- Ubuntu release:
- Description: Ubuntu 14.10
- Release: 14.10
- Kernel 3.16.0-24-generic
-
- Problem:
- I am getting random disconnects on relatively short intervals. The adapter
seems to have problems with roaming and multiple APs.
- Sometimes the wifi connectivity stops being available alltogether. This is
usually after a period of time. In this situation the wifi option doesn't show
in networkmanager applet or as connection in network configuration.
- Sometimes the wifi is seemingly connected (wifi symbol in the status bar).
But no website can be downloaded.

Attempts to solve the problem:
-I tried compiling the STA-source from Broadcom. It didn't compile
-I also tried the ndiswrapper solution. The device was recognised but
network-manager crashed on every attempt to configure the wifi.
-The network would run fine with an alternative usb-wifi-adapter with a
Realtek chip in it. So it is most likely a problem related to this Broadcom
device and the STA driver
-The older version of this package does not support this model bcm43142.
+ Since wifi is the only network connectivity available on this
+ netbook/ultrabook, a solid driver installation would be much
+ appreciated. Maybe something could be done about it despite the Broadcom
+ STA driver's bad reputation.
