Wifi issue, Arch linux on Macbook Pro mid 2009

I´ve been using arch for a while on my thinkpad and i was trying to install it on my old
macbook pro too.

since i can´t startup from live USB on mac, i used my thinkpad to install arch. everything ok, after installing arch and
replace the macbook drive with the fresh linux wifi connection wont work, already switched back into thinkpad to enter
chroot and download broadcom-wl package, but no sucess so far. My macbook ethernet port isn´t working soo cable connexion
wont work!

output lspci | grep Network:
03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries BCM4322 802.11a/b/g/n Wireless LAN  Controller

[ UPDATE ]

Ok, i had an external wifi adapter, and after running wifi-menu,
it worked, now my macbook has wifi connection, but what can i do to make it work
with its own wifi?

Please use proper punctuation.  Separate sentences.  Trying to parse your initial post is exhausting.

But in any case, we will need the output as indicated in the wiki to know what chipset you actually have:

`lspci -nnk`  to provide the VID:PID for the device and Wireless_network_configuration covers manual commands to work through until you encounter an issue.
