Re: Can't setup wifi connection (MacBook Air) [SOVLED]

Hello guys,
I managed to get my wifi working. Here's what I did for those who have the same problem:

# pacman -S linux-headers dkms broadcom-wl-dkms iw wpa_supplicant
# reboot

After the reboot, then use this command to connect to the wifi router (WPA2 security)

# wpa_supplicant -B -i INTERFACE_NAME -c <(wpa_passphrase "YOUR_SSID" "YOUR_PASSPHRASE")

For my case, the interface name was wlp3s0. Check the connection status with the following command. If it returned "Not Connected", then probably something went wrong.

# iw dev interface_name link

Then get an IP address with dhcpcd:

# dhcpcd interface_name

Check if you got an IP address:

ip addr

Then you are good to go
