Ok. But "it didn't work" doesn't say much. What (if any) error messages did you get. What part was not successful?

Best regards,

Hi...

Which last step was that? Also, please open a terminal and post the results of these commands...

Code:
dmesg | grep -iC 3 "wlan0"
Code:
lsmod
Code:
sudo lshw -C network
Code:
rfkill list
Disclaimer: Be careful with commands including "sudo" especially, as it will essentially allow root access to your system. Mistakes could possibly damage or even destroy your OS.

Regards...

Hi...

Out of curiosity, are there any entries for wlan2 in dmesg? I'm not seeing anything in your report that stands out, at least for me, other than the constant "link down."

Code:
dmesg | grep -iC 3 "wlan2"
Also, what message(s), if any, do you receive from this command...

Code:
sudo ifconfig wlan0 up
Regards...

Your lspci shows:
Code:
02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM43142 802.11b/g/n [14e4:4365] (rev 01)
And dmesg shows:
Code:
[   26.974923] wlan0: Broadcom BCM4365 802.11 Hybrid Wireless Controller 6.30.223.248 (r487574)
You seem to be using the wrong driver. You need to install the correct (BCM43142) driver for your card. As outlined here:

At this point I do not know how to help you. I am sorry. I have Broadcom chips in several of my computers, and they are all working after I have followed the various wikis on how to get up and running.

This looks strange though:
Code:
[   27.123572] systemd-udevd[1308]: renamed network interface wlan0 to wlan2
What happens if you try:
Code:
ifconfig wlan2 up
I am pretty much just guessing at this point though. Again, Broadcom chips generally work (at least in my experience), I have never been through this much of a hassle before.

Best of luck!

Exclamation

I changed wlan2 to wlan0 by changing it in some file but the problem is wifite...airmon-ng or fluxion , Nothing is working now.
so
Code:
wlan2: ERROR while getting interface flags: No such device
Code:
 [+] scanning for wireless devices...
 [+] enabling monitor mode on wlan0... done
 [+] enabling monitor mode on wlan0... done
 [+] enabling monitor mode on wlan0... done
 [+] enabling monitor mode on wlan0... done
 [+] enabling monitor mode on wlan0...^C
Its working fine at my home but when i try to do it somewhere else it doesn't work. maybe its because of different ISP ?

Hi...

You probably should change it back.

Please read the information at the page John VV linked to below, apparently Broadcom's drivers don't support monitor mode. I didn't realize this myself until now. It might explain the error messages you've been receiving.

Regards...

you might want to READ!!! the kali docs about Broadcom chips

and wireless in particular !!!!

this would have saved you a LOT of trouble !!!
