[solved] Broadcom Wireless driver not working

Hello, I had managed to work my Wireless, until I was installing Stack on  AUR. It suddenly disappeared from the menu bar as well.

I ran some checks.

 03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Limited BCM4322 802.11bgn Wireless Network Controller (rev 01)
	Subsystem: Broadcom Limited BCM4322 802.11bgn Wireless Network Controller
	Kernel modules: ssb

There are no drivers in use even though b43-firmware is installed.

 [zkl@ezekiel ~]$ ip link
1: lo: <LOOPBACK,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 65536 qdisc noqueue state UNKNOWN mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1
    link/loopback 00:00:00:00:00:00 brd 00:00:00:00:00:00
2: enp0s10: <BROADCAST,MULTICAST,UP,LOWER_UP> mtu 1500 qdisc fq_codel state UP mode DEFAULT group default qlen 1000
    link/ether 00:25:4b:c3:9d:da brd ff:ff:ff:ff:ff:ff

I am at a loss on how this could have just "disappeared'

Only other thing I can think of a while back this error came up after booting but before now wasnt affecting anything.

 Activating service name ='org.freedesktop.systemd1'
Activating service name 'org.freedesktop.systemd1' failed: process org.freedesktop.systemd1 exited with status 1

and this repeats, could this be related.

by the way i uninstalled and reinstalled networkmanager

any help would be very much appreciated
