Hello all,

i apologise for asking this question but after having read various posts including this one,https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php?id=55511, i still cant figure out how to get my wireless drivers to work.
i'm loving arch so far but i'm really having a hard time to solve this problem, would someone be so kind as to guide me from scratch please ?

thanks  in advance

No, that's not how it works here.

Relevant sections of the fine ArchWiki would be:
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Be … e#Wireless
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Be … Wireless_2
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wi … ice_driver
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Wi … 2Ffirmware

Presuming you have worked your way through these pages -- what are the specific problems you are having with the Beginner's Guide?

Please explicitly state all the steps you have followed so far and indicate which stage is causing you problems.

1> Follow this wiki page and install the appropriate firmware. (Make sure to check whether you need LP-PHY version)

2> Blacklist b43legacy kernel module.

3> Add that blacklist file to the FILES section in /etc/mkinitcpio.conf

4> Add b43 module to modules-load.d

5> Run sudo mkinitcpio -p linux

6> Reboot

If it doesn't work, try sudo modprobe b43.

Also make sure you have iw, wpa_supplicant and a network manager installed.
