Asus eeePC 1015pn wireless problems in 64 bit [Solved]

Hi all,

I successfully installed 32 bit Arch a few days ago on this machine, and then realized that it had a 64 bit architecture, so being a perfectionist I decided to re-install with that.  In 32-bit, I remember the wireless just working.  I just followed the wireless quickstart guide, and it worked.  Now, in x86_64, wlan0 will not show up when running iwconfig.

An lspci returns the wireless card's name as:

Network controller: Broadcom Corporation Device 4727 (rev 01)

However, booting into a 64-bit Archbang live usb, lspci returns:

Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller (rev 01)

Also, the wireless works and I can connect to networks.

What am I missing?  How do I get my installation to recognize my wireless card the way Archbang does?  Is Udev not loading the right modules?  I would rather install vanilla Arch and design a true bottom-up system.

I solved it.

It was caused by me using an outdated repo server.  I switched servers, upgraded, and now it works fine.
