Package was in repos a couple of days ago now it has disappeared, am guessing need to switch to dkms version?.
Wiki still shows link to package [thanks Joe]

Know 6.13 is still in testing... unsure why it has been removed... time will tell

Removed quote as I cannot find it from searching online. As broadcom-wl package was removed from repos can say that it has been replaced by broadcom-wl-dkms... Wiki is yet to be updated to reflect this.
Arch media still includes broadcom-wl on latest iso image.
Currently broadcom-wl-dkms does not build using latest archiso scripts.
Hopefully a fix will be made soon.

that's the removing commit
Usually gitlab commits have comments or are linked to issues, MR's or RFC's but I can't fine anything.

Not going to worry too much about it, Arch has removed broadcom-wl package in the past. I for one cannot get iso image to build with dkms version. Will check archiso build configs.

It is still part of releng config...

I'm assuming it was removed because it doesn't build; see archlinux/packaging/packages/broadcom-wl-dkms#2.
If broadcom-wl is not restored after that issue is fixed, I'll remove it from releng's packages.x86_64.
Edit:
The build issue was fixed and broadcom-wl is back in extra again.

Thank you will mark thread as solved... I could not build iso using archiso with broadcom-wl-dkms... it is not happy to work under chroot.
May simply have been kernel update but I could not find anything.
Archiso lives again ;-)
