Re: WIFI is'nt detecing
Ok go to software manager. Then select additional drivers. Choose those options there, if it doesn't work then you'll have to get some software

Re: WIFI is'nt detecing
Unfortunately there is no open source driver for your wireless card
http://linuxwireless.org/en/users/Drivers
And proprietary driver only for windows OS.
http://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php
Try Menu>Administration>Windows drivers for wireless card ( If you have dual boot, windows and linux mint)

Re: WIFI is'nt detecing
Indeed, there is no Linux support for the BCM43142. You can load the Windows driver; with Windows's Device Manager you can look which driver .inf file is used by the device, then boot Linux and go to the Windows partition > Windows/System32/DriverStore/FileRepository and copy the folder with the same .inf in its name to somewhere on your Linux system. Then you will be able to load the .inf file inside the folder using Windows Wireless Drivers.
If you use 32-bit Windows with 64-bit Linux on the same computer, or 64-bit Windows with 32-bit Linux, then you may need to get the driver from elsewhere - probably it can somehow be extracted from the Windows driver files from Broadcom's or Dell's website.

Please install ndiswrapper-dkms from Software Manager using a wired internet connection.

Re: WIFI is'nt detecing
though i installed i cudlnt find da way to install the drivers...!!!!
Re: WIFI is'nt detecing
I see you use Mint 14 - ndiswrapper is not really working there yet, it seems. Or do you have trouble finding the right driver to add in Windows Wireless Driver?
