There may be something else going on here, but first try rebooting the system and then check wireless. Normally, a reboot is not needed under EL7. Once rebooted, please post the results of: # uname -a # rpm -q kmod-wl # find -L /lib/modules -type f -name wl.ko If you still "find" (see http://elrepo.org/bugs/view.php?id=623): /lib/modules/3.10.0-327.4.4.el7.x86_64/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/wl.ko then determine what package it is associated with (which may need to be uninstalled): # rpm -qf /lib/modules/3.10.0-327.4.4.el7.x86_64/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/wl.ko As an example, the correct driver looks like this: # rpm -qf /lib/modules/3.10.0-327.el7.x86_64/extra/wl/wl.ko kmod-wl-6_30_223_271-2.el7.local.x86_64 ...which means package kmod-wl provided it. It is always possible that the Broadcom driver does not support your hardware (BCM43142, 14e4:4365), but their readme says it should.
