Broadcom 4328 Network Device (Apple MacBook Mid 2007) not detected

Hi guys,

This is my first Arch Install and everything runs fine with wired network, these are the network devices listed (ethernet is not connected right now):

[usrname@archmachine ]$ ip link
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc nonqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
2. ens5: <NO-CARRIER,BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_code1 state DOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 00:1f:f3:d5:1c:c8 brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff
    altname enp3s0

Then if I look for the device using lspci, this is what I get:

 sudo lspci -vnn -d 14e4:
[usrname@archmachine ]$

I have no output for rfkill list nor fkill unblock wifi or rfkill unblock all with or without sudo .
Also I have installed b43-firmware, and blacklisted everything, however, when I do iw dev list nothing appears.

Thanks in advance, and sorry if I didn't include any relevant stuff.
