Ok, then:

# echo API=WEXT > /etc/akmods/akmod-wl-bcm43142/api
# akmods --force --kernel `uname -r` --akmod wl-bcm43142

is what I'm looking for, and I did not know.

Thank.

But I have read also this:

Caution :
---------

WEXT API will be dropped from future kernels according to
https://git.kernel.org/?p=linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux-2.6.git;a=commitdiff;h=10bab00afed042c1a38ed5ffb135e2aea5ce1277

This workaround should only used on compatibles kernels with the
WEXT API.
One should considere to switch to higher wireless compatible Fedora
Release in order to get the most recent CFG80211 API with most recent
kernel.

This workaround will be dropped from the future broadcom-wl-bcm43142,
kmod-wl-bcm43142 and akmod-wl-bcm43142 packages when the WEXT API will
be dropped too.
---------------

Then, in the future, when the WEXT API will dropped, there is no way to use
wireless in "ad-hoc" mode with BCM driver ?
