HI
Recently i purchased new DELL VOSTRO 2420 MODEL LAPTOP. In that i
installed centos 6.4 x86_64 and the kernel version is
2.6.32-358.el6.x86_64.
IN that, Wireless is not working with that OS.I used lspci command, it
shows the Network Controller : Broadcom Corporation BCM43142 802.11b/g/n
(rev 01).
Ethernet Controller : Realtek Semiconductor RTL8111/8168B PCI Express
Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 07)
In ubuntu 12.04, it is working fine. But in centos 6.4 (x86_64 ), it is
not
working .
Any solutions for this one?

kernel does not have the driver for your Wi-Fi card.
firmware for your card, whereas Ubuntu does.
A diff of file lists from /lib/firmware in respective distro should get you
started in locating the firmware file.
