MacBookPro11,4 Broadcom Wifi Driver not loading properly

Hi,

I have installed the latest version of Arch on my Mid-2015 Macbook Pro. I am now running into an issue with the Wifi driver giving me errors during startup.
The output I get from dmesg is as follows:

brcmfmac 0000:03:0.0: Direct firmware load for brcm/brcmfmac43602-pcie.txt failed with error -2
brcmfmac: brcmf_c_preinit_dcmds: Firmware version = w10; Nov 10 2015 06:38:10 version 7.35.177.61 (r598657) FWID 01-ea662a8c
brcmf_cfg80211_reg_notifier: not a ISO3166 code (0x30 0x30)

After that I cannot see my wireless interface using ip link

My Wifi card information is below:

Network Controller [0280]: Broadcom Limited BCM43602 802.11ac Wireless LAN Soc [14e4:43ba] (rev 01)
               Subsystem: Apple Inc. Device [106b:0152]
               Flag: bus master, fast, devsel, latency 0, IRQ 42
               Memory at a0800000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=32k]
               Memory at a0400000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4M]
               Capabilities: <access_denied>
               Kernel driver: brcmfmac
               Kernel modules: brcmfmac

I have also tried using the b43 and broadcom-wl-dkms drivers in order to get the wifi card working but I had no success with either driver.
Is there anyone who has had a similar issue getting their wifi driver to work with this model and could provide me with any insights as to how to fix it?

Thank you

Re: MacBookPro11,4 Broadcom Wifi Driver not loading properly

Hi,

I have the exact same issue. The correct files are in /lib/firmware/brcm, and are not corrupted after checking. Am on Linux 4.14.13-1, and I know with previous kernel versions wifi has been working fine on this machine.

Were you ever able to resolve your problems, and if so how?
