[SOLVED] Linux-4.7-1 breaks broadcom-dkms-wl

Hello, since the new Kernel update, my wireless is not working anymore. Broadcom wireless sucks, I know, but how can I restore my wireless now? The above mentioned driver was the only one that was working

Did the dkms modules rebuild? Have you tried rebuilding them manually? Have you rebooted into the new kernel? What is your wireless hardware?

If I remember correctly, it tried rebuilding immediately after the Kernel Update, but it failed with an error.

Yes, I rebooted into the new Kernel.
I use the following broadcom device:
08:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4352 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter (rev 03)

Oh, never mind, I am stupid af.
I randomly tried reinstalling the DKMS module by downloading it with yaourt again (using Ethernet), and it works again. Thanks for your help anyways.
Now I am just wondering, if it also would have worked again, if I rebuilt it manually...

This is the kind of information you should include in an initial post - but for future reference include this information along with what the error actually was.
