Arch can't see wifi card after installation
I fresh installed Arch following the official guide, using the latest iso.
Everything goes ok, but durin the installation process I use the wifi, connect it with iwctl and everything work, when I restarted logged in with root in CLI and with ip link I can't see the wifi card.
I have a ethernet port, I think the problem is that the installation doesn't have the right driver, how I can se what wifi card I have so I can download the right driver? and how I can install them?

Re: Arch can't see wifi card after installation
The ArchWiki has an entire page devoted to Broadcom devices and I would suggest that you read it.
