The real file seems to be BCM43142A0-04ca-2009.hcd (note the 0 -zero before
4ca). On page
http://askubuntu.com/questions/599893/bluetooth-is-not-working-on-14-04-with-bcm43142
there seems to be a solution but I dont have that bt adapter so I cannot
confirm that it will work for you. I have another Broadcom (BCM20702A0)
adapter that I used a similar fix to get its firmware to load. Basically you
download fw-04ca_2009.hcd and rename it to
/lib/firmware/brcm/BCM43142A0-04ca-2009.hcd. You might have to create the
directory firmware and brcm if they dont exist on your system. If you run lsusb
you should see an ID 04ca-2009 listed. If not then this wont help you.
