Help with wifi drivers, im lost following a guide for the x205ta.

Hello, i'm new to arch but i have alredy experience with out-of-the-box distro
I follow a guide made just for my notebook model (asus x205ta) and i can't understand the part where i should:

      ="adding wireless drivers to the install image" =

     - "Unsquash and mount your preferred squashfs (i386 or x64) from the arch ISO you downloaded,
        by following the instructions these instructions: https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Re … nstall_ISO
      -Copy 'fw_bcm43341.bin' to '/lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac43340-sdio.bin' on your new bootable usb."

I managed to unsqash the iso but i can't find the folder where i sould put the driver i have downloaded ('fw_bcm43341.bin), pheraps im not ready for arch, any help at all???
Thanks.

You are following this guide : https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/Asus_x205ta ?

Look for a /lib folder under the squashfs-root folder .

Disliking systemd intensely, but not satisfied with alternatives so focusing on taming systemd.

Found the way, in the end, the kernel already supported those driver that i was tring to add...so i just had to boot the usb and start the wifi from root.
