Problem with wifi drivers for my HP Elitebook 2530p

Hello i cant find how out how to get drivers for my WiFi card which is  Broadcom BCM43222 4322 mini PCI 802.11a/b/g/n,
The laptop in question the the HP Elitebook 2530p, I have tried Network Manager(network manager will not start up all it says is "Networking disabled i think this is since the network driver is not installed").
Thanks in advance

Confirm you get connection via ethernet? Does network manager still show that error when ethernet connected?

Edit: Does https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wireless help at all?

Also check the output of ip link command to see if a wireless interface (usually it starts with the letter "w", e.g. wlp2s1) was created. Then bring the interface up with ip link set interface up. For example, assuming the interface is wlan0:

What is the output of

ip link
