Wireless driver seems to disable other apps

I just installed broadcom-wl-dkms driver, and managed to get my wifi working (BCM4360). however, when i connect to the internet through wifi, i can't launch any apps. terminal, firefox, and everything else just doesn't launch. if i disconnect, or connect through wired, everything works fine. no idea where to start with this one. thanks.

Welcome to the arch linux forums scrungus.  Installation_guide#Network_configuration did you create /etc/hostname ?
