Live/Portable: WiFi

I would like to use archlinux from my USB. The only thing holding me back at this point is not having access to wifi.

[liveuser@arch ~]$ ip link
1: lo: <LOOPBACK, UP, LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
     link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00

[liveuser@arch ~]$ iwconfig
lo         no wireless extensions.

[liveuser@arch ~]$ lspci -k
03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries BCM43602 802.11ac Wireless LAN SoC (rev 01) Kernel modules: brcmfmac, wl

Thanks for your help and time.

Re: Live/Portable: WiFi

arch guides sent me here . I see that my driver is installed, but the system is not recognizing it.
