Wifi connection problem with Broadcom BCM4352

Hello,

I'm currently having trouble to use my Wifi card on a Dell XPS 15. The Wifi chip is Broadcom BCM4352:

I'm using Broadcom's wkl driver (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/broadcom-wl-dkms)

Here is my wpa_supplicant conf file :

$ cat /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant-wlp6s0.conf
ctrl_interface=/var/run/wpa_supplicant
eapol_version=1
ap_scan=1
fast_reauth=1


network={
	ssid="trucmuche"
	key_mgmt=NONE
}

network={
	ssid="NUMERICABLE-DAFE"
	psk=some psk
}

However, when I try to connect to one of the two interfaces, it always fail, for a reason that I don't quite understand.
On the open network:

$sudo wpa_supplicant -i wlp6s0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant/wpa_supplicant-wlp6s0.conf

Re: Wifi connection problem with Broadcom BCM4352

Try booting with this kernel parameter:

b43.allhwsupport=1

Re: Wifi connection problem with Broadcom BCM4352

Thanks for your answer. I tried it:

$cat /proc/cmdline
BOOT_IMAGE=/vmlinuz-linux root=UUID=fcb70f94-48b8-43e8-aeed-970c0a88805a rw cryptdevice=/dev/sda3:MyStorage:allow-discards root=/dev/mapper/MyStorage-rootvol quiet b43.allhwsupport=1

But nothing's changed…
