Hi:
There are no wifi drivers for W8 for the model wlan card you have.
Even the wireless card manufacturer didn't make any, so your only option is to connect via ethernet or a usb wireless network adapter, do the required updates to W8, so you can get the free upgrade to W8.1, and then you can use the W8.1 wireless and bluetooth drivers for the model wlan card your notebook has.
Here is the W8 ethernet driver you need to connect via ethernet cable.
Download, unzip and run the setup application from the 3rd driver at the link below.
After you upgrade to W8.1, here are the wireless and bluetooth drivers you need for the Broadcom BCM43142 802.11 b/g/n 1x1 Wi-Fi and BlueTooth 4.0 M.2 combination WLAN adapter your notebook comes with.
The package contains Broadcom Wireless LAN driver for supported notebook models running a supported operating system. Broadcom Wireless LAN driver is required to enable integrated Broadcom Wireless LAN adapter.
