This has been a rocky road, sorry forums!
So today I was finally able to install my needed wireless drivers, thanks to falconindy. wl is installed and initiated
[dan@archssd ~]$ lsmod | grep wl
wl 2557927 0
cfg80211 173210 1 wl
lib80211 3949 2 wl,lib80211_crypt_tkip
And I have fixed the name swapping that happens with wl as per the wiki
[dan@archssd ~]$ iwconfig
wifi0 IEEE 802.11abg ESSID:off/any
Mode:Managed Access Point: Not-Associated Tx-Power=200 dBm
Retry long limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Power Management:off
eth0 no wireless extensions.lo no wireless extensions.
net0 no wireless extensions.
I have also blacklisted all modules the wiki has suggested blacklisting
[dan@archssd ~]$ cat /etc/modprobe.d/modprobe.conf
blacklist brcm80211
blacklist b43
blacklist ssb
Nor is anything blocked
[dan@archssd ~]$ rfkill list
0: phy0: Wireless LAN
Soft blocked: no
Hard blocked: no
Yet still no wifi networks appear
[dan@archssd ~]$ iwlist wifi0 scan
wifi0 No scan results
Any one know what is going on?
Thanks in advanced for your help and time!

Randomly a bunch of network just showed up. Probably about 15 minutes after rebooting. Still can't connect to any of them.

You must run that command with root permissions. If not, the response you get will contain extant data.
If you would, please post the output of sudo iwlist scan

hey ewaller,
Turns out I had this problem a while back and have just forgotten about it: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=123131 It seems the "fix" was just moving to 32bit. It also turns out that since the last time I tried it, b43 has added better support for my card. So now I'm up and running with b43.
Although, it does still seem that there is some sort of bug when broadcom-wl is used on my system under 64bit. so although it isn't technically solved, I guess I'll mark this thread as 'Solved'
