Setup wifi driver for Broadcom (14e4:4365) on ubuntu 14.10

Setup wifi for broadcom(14e4:4365).

First check whether you have broadcom(14e4:4365) chip or not by :-

 lspci -vnn | grep 14e4

you should get the output something like 
07:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM43142 802.11b/g/n [14e4:4365] (rev 01)

Now type these and you are done

sudo dpkg-reconfigure network-manager

sudo apt-get install bcmwl-kernel-source

sudo apt-get install firmware-b43-installer
