1.lspci -nn |grep 0280 get pci-id

root@silee:/# lspci -nn |grep 0280
03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM43227 802.11b/g/n [14e4:4358]

2. open http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43
check if [14e4:4358]  supported by b43

PCI-ID

Supported?

Chip ID

Modes

PHY version

Alternative

14e4:4358          no (WIP)       BCM43227     b/g/n      LCNXN (r0)     wl

it is not supported by b43, but wl can be an alternative
3. check wl software packages on kali

root@silee:~# apt-cache search broadcom
broadcom-sta-common - Common files for the Broadcom STA Wireless driver
broadcom-sta-dkms - dkms source for the Broadcom STA Wireless driver
broadcom-sta-source - Source for the Broadcom STA Wireless driver

firmware-brcm80211 - Binary firmware for Broadcom 802.11 wireless cards
b43-fwcutter - Utility for extracting Broadcom 43xx firmware

4. check details of packages

root@silee:~# apt-cache policy broadcom-sta-dkms

install :

# mkdir hybrid_wl
# cd hybrid_wl
# tar xzf <path>/hybrid-v35-nodebug-pcoem-portsrc.tar.gz or  ==> for 32 bits
\ <path>/hybrid-v35_64-nodebug-pcoem-portsrc.tar.gz   ==> for 64 bits

# lsmod  | grep "brcmsmac\|b43\|ssb\|bcma\|wl"

If any of these are installed, remove them:
# rmmod b43
# rmmod brcmsmac
# rmmod ssb
# rmmod bcma
# rmmod wl

To blacklist these drivers and prevent them from loading in the future:
# echo "blacklist ssb" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
# echo "blacklist bcma" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
# echo "blacklist b43" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf
# echo "blacklist brcmsmac" >> /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

2: Insmod the driver.

Otherwise, if you have not previously installed a wl driver, you'll need
to add a security module before using the wl module.  Most newer systems
use lib80211 while others use ieee80211_crypt_tkip. See which one works for
your system.

# modprobe lib80211
  or
# modprobe ieee80211_crypt_tkip

If your using the cfg80211 version of the driver, then cfg80211 needs to be
loaded:

# modprobe cfg80211

Then:
# insmod wl.ko
