[SOLVED] broadcom-wl install

Valctar · 2019-12-25 00:23:29

I can't seem to install broadcom-wl with pacman, all mirrors give 404 (or similar error I may be wrong on the code itself)
Tried AUR also but ran into a dependency problem. Checked wiki and nothing is mentioned about this and topics which mention broadcom-wl seem to be able to download from pacman normally. Did this package get removed or the install process changed?

thanks for any help

PS did install base-devel and linux-headers as per wiki

Gonna try fixing it here.

pacman -Rdd libdmx libxxf86dga libxxf86misc && pacman -Syu

That fixes it, thanks.
