Re: [SOLVED] How to get Broadcom wireless to work (Arch install)?
I want to make my system as smooth as Debian (GNOME 3) when it comes to network setup.
Debian (GNOME 3) uses NetworkManager so you should probably try NetworkManager.

Look at the list again, there are two BCM4313 listed, I'd guess nakamis has a 14e4:4727, it's the more common one. Though even if he does have a 14e4:4313, look at the last column, is says supported by wl and brcm80211 (brcm80211 consists of brcmsmac and brcmfmac). That's why the interface shows up - b43 does not handle BCM4313, brcmsmac does. And brcmsmac works out-of-the-box, no additional installation of stuff is needed.
I stand corrected. Didn't notice that second BCM4313.
