Hi,
I'm almost new in this forum. Recently I did a system upgrade (or update?). After that the wireless connection didn't work again. I used the search function but I didn't find a solution so I reinstalled networkmanager and the wireless card driver (from AUR). Then I did everything mentioned in these wikis:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wireless
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Broadcom_BCM4312
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/NetworkManager
But no success
The output to lspci | grep BCM43 is:
04:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g (rev 01)
The output of iwconfig is:
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 no wireless extensions.
These are the relevant lines of rc.conf:
MOD_AUTOLOAD="yes"
#MOD_BLACKLIST=() #deprecated
MODULES=(lib80211_crypt_tkip !b43 wl fuse snd-hda-intel)
...
#eth1="dhcp"
eth0="dhcp"
#INTERFACES=(eth0 eth1)
INTERFACES=(!eth0)
...
#gateway="default gw 192.168.0.1"
#ROUTES=(!gateway)
...
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
# DAEMONS
# -----------------------------------------------------------------------
DAEMONS=(syslog-ng hal !network networkmanager !netfs !wicd crond fam gdm)
I really appreciate any help, thank you very much in advance,

I'm making some progress. I realized I forgot to blacklist ssb and ndiswrapper. I compiled the driver from the Broadcom website. This is the new modules array in rc.conf:
MODULES=(lib80211_crypt_tkip wl !ndiswrapper !b43 !ssb fuse snd-hda-intel)
Now "sudo iwconfig" output is
lo no wireless extensions.
eth0 IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:"" Nickname:""
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated
Bit Rate:54 Mb/s Tx-Power:off
Retry min limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off

Link Quality=5/5 Signal level=0 dBm Noise level=0 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:0 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
eth1 no wireless extensions.
I'm still not able to scan wireless networks.
sudo iwlist scan
lo Interface doesn't support scanning.
eth0 Failed to read scan data : Invalid argument
eth1 Interface doesn't support scanning.
Neither WICD or NetworkManager are able to detect wireless networks.
Thank you in advance,
Luis Pablo

Broadcom BCM4312 failed to work in Dell mini 9 after -Syu (kernel 2.631-Arch). The driver is latest one from AUR .
$modprobe wl
FATAL:Module wl not found
Edit 1: Solved. Build the driver from AUR without any patches and works fine.
Edit 2: vote for this driver (by leprosys) and let it moved to community.
