BCM4352 problem with start up

Hello Guys,

I have problem with my wireless network adapter and I don't know why... Before I have reinstalled Arch wifi was ok. Now I have problem:

- I installed broadcom-wl and reboot laptop. Nothing changed. Always whenever I did it everything was ok.

I use NetworkManager and I haven't wireless connection in menu.

lspci | grep BCM

0a:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4352 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter (rev 03)

I was looking something on wiki and I found this. I tried to make this:
rmmod b43

rmmod: ERROR: Module b43 is not currently loaded

rmmod ssb

rmmod: ERROR: Module ssb is not currently loaded

modprobe wl

modprobe: FATAL: Module wl not found.

Even after depmod -a nothing changed.

One change what I see between earliest Arch and this is kernel. Now I using linux-lts.

uname -a

Linux defcom 3.14.51-1-lts #1 SMP Mon Aug 17 19:21:08 CEST 2015 x86_64 GNU/Linux

Maybe you have some idea what I can do more? It's should works fine.

Re: BCM4352 problem with start up

lspci -k -s 0a:00.0

0a:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4352 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter (rev 03)
	Subsystem: AzureWave Device 2b23

pacman -Qs broadcom*

local/broadcom-wl 6.30.223.248-6
    Broadcom 802.11abgn hybrid Linux networking device driver

==============================================

I know that's stupid but now I tried broadcom-wl-dkms and it work fine. Before this I tried broadcom-wl and I cannot start up it. So broadcom-wl-dkms resolve this problem for me.
