teehee!.
Funny thing is networking seemed to be fine when using NM to manage the interface
but when managed manually the ass fell out of the kernel.
Anyway ta for that and maybe I'll see ya round.

Re-building of broadcom-wl-dkms doesn't help.
]]>I'm using a MacBook Air 2012:
$ lspci -vnn | grep 14e4:
02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM43224 802.11a/b/g/n [14e4:4353] (rev 01)
Can't connect at all.
]]>Rebuild, reboot.
Working.
]]>Conclusion: updating the kernel breaks Wi-Fi and requires rebuilding broadcom-wl-dkms and subsequent rebooting on MacBook Air early 2014.
Actually, there was a pkgrel push, so it merely requires upgrading broadcom-wl-dkms to the latest version. AUR helpers should do this when upgrading for most users.

twelveeighty, please remove [SOLVED] from the thread subject

]]>Using the resent dkms version with BCM43142 on dell vostro and 3.18.2-2-ARCH isn't working.
No kernel panics, but even though NM sees the wifi card, it finds no networks.
Yes, same problem for me. No panics but can't connect to wifi.
I went back to previous kernel and previous driver...
BCM43142 also
I don't underhand how some people with BCM43142 have no problems
