My problem is that I can't connect to the internet on my HP envy laptop, with Ubuntu 16.04 installed on it in dualboot with windows 10. UEFI secure boot is disabled.

bcmwl-kernel-source is already installed.
The same for broadcom-sta-*.

I am an inexperienced user of Ubuntu. But, I can tell that Wifi worked for a while and then, it doesn't anymore. I have looked for a solution on the internet but I couldn't find (or understand ?) how to solve my problem.

I have no internet connection from this computer.

The result of $ lspci -nn | grep -i net gives :

01:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM43142 802.11b/g/n [14e4:4365] (rev01)

The result of:

$ rfkill list
0: hci0: Bluetooth
Soft blocked: yes
Hard blocked: no

Then,

$ ifconfig -a
lo Link encap:Boucle locale
inet adr:127.0.0.1 Masque:255.0.0.0

Octets reçus:1954296 (1.9 MB) Octets transmis:1954296 (1.9 MB)

EDIT :

$ lspci -knn | grep Net -A3

EDIT :

$ uname -r

Tell me if you need more info about this. Thanks in advance for your answers.

wget http://mirrors.kernel.org/ubuntu/pool/restricted/b/bcmwl/bcmwl- kernel-source_6.30.223.271+bdcom-0ubuntu4_amd64.deb

sudo dpkg -i bcmwl-kernel-source_6.30.223.271+bdcom-0ubuntu4_amd64.deb

This actually works for Broadcom Corporation BCM43142 802.11b/g/n [14e4:4365]
