Macbook 7,1 with Broadcom 4322, help?

Hi, first of all since this is my first post here.

I've been lurking around the forum for a bit now and have tried, from what I can see, every solution offered to get the BCM4322 working. Long story short, it doesn't.

I'm running out of ideas and patience here, can anybody help out on this?

Here's some code that might be helpful:

[badg3r@Badger ~]$ lspci | grep Network
02:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4322 802.11a/b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller (rev 01)

[badg3r@Badger ~]$ lsmod | grep wl

[badg3r@Badger ~]$ iwlist scan
wlp2s0    No scan results

lo        Interface doesn't support scanning.

enp3s0    Interface doesn't support scanning.

Thanks in advance.

Hi, wlcome to the forums! Since this is your first post to the forum, you might not have seen the (very extensive) wiki?

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Broadcom_wireless

-> Getting this chipset to work, might require the right combination of loaded and blacklisted modules, depending on which driver you're using. You're using the broadcom-wl-driver, but the wiki recommends to try the brmcsm-driver first.

And how are you connecting? Are you using networkmanager, wicd, netctl, <something else>? Please post the output of those programs as well.

HTH

What happens if you run iwlist scan as root rather than a normal user.

Also, be aware that iwlist and ifconfig are deprecated.  Arch now prefers the use of ip and iw

I have the same model and network card and use the B43 driver although the Wiki for 7,1 says to try the broadcom-wl. I've found it quite reliable.
