I bet you are missing the b43 firmware. Check your logs and the output of dmesg.
You need to have:
aur/b43-firmware 5.100.138-2 (298)
Firmware for Broadcom B43 wireless networking chips
installed.
]]>And pay particular attention to the section about blacklisting modules that conflict with the driver you install...

like in the wiki and find that the wl driver was correct for your PCI-ID?

I assume that's the relevant part of the output. Or did you want all of it?
