[solved]Wifi worked in ubuntu doesn't work in arch (BCM43142)

Hello,

I have just installed arch linux. My wifi was working when I was using ubuntu and now it doesn't work. I am not sure what can be the problem since my kernel is up to date(I updated) and I don't think newer kernel (than ubuntu 13.04s) would drop the support of my adapter:

lspci gives:

Broadcom Corporation BCM43142 802.11b/g/n (rev 01)

I've seen a lot of threads about broadcom wireless lately. Have you searched the forums? BCM43142 might be a good search string.

The forum search also limits the number of queries you can do in a set time period.  To overcome this, use Google to search.  In Google use:

site:bbs.archlinux.org query

Where "query" would be "BCM43142"
