I have a [Dell Inspiron][1] 15R 5520 laptop. Bluetooth is not working at all.

I have visited the site http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43 and according to it
lspci -vnn -d 14e4: gives
08:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom
Corporation BCM43142 802.11b/g/n [14e4:4365]
(rev 01)
Subsystem: Dell Wireless 1704 802.11n + BT 4.0 [1028:0016]
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 17
Memory at c1500000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=32K]
Capabilities: <access denied>
Kernel driver in use: wl
So I got my PCI-ID as 14e4:4365 which it says is not supported. The alternative is wl.
What should I do?
My Wi-Fi is working normally without any problems, but Bluetooth is not working.
sudo dpkg -i wireless-bcm43142-dkms_6.20.55.19-1_amd64.deb gives following error
