BCM43228 cannot find any access points

Hello, I have  Archlinux installed on my desktop computer, but I cannot get BCM43228  wireless  (pci) working
At first I am using the default b43 driver
dmesg when I reload b43:

.

wlp2s0b1 should be the wireless interface, but when i run

sudo iw wlp2s0b1 scan

there is no ap infomation printed.

I also tried broadcom-wl, the result is the same: the interface is up, but no access point is found
And I think the wireless has no hardware problem, because it works well under windows.
