[Solved] Broadcom BCM43602 fresh install no internet

I just did a fresh install with the latest iso. Wifi works fine from the iso, but from my new install it does not. I have a Broadcom BCM43602. I have installed arch before multiple times on this laptop and never had this problem. I notice the iso has wl, and brcmfmac loaded, but no wl in my initial install. If I install broadcom-wl it blacklists brcmfmac, but even if I manually try to load both of them I still never get a connection with wifi-menu in my fresh install. It seems that the install iso also have the same blacklist for brcmfmac, but it is loaded?

Any help or pointers would be great. Not sure what other information I should post that would be useful.

Thanks

@jasonwryan right, but how do I know what I need to install. I have never installed anything extra other than the base install before when I have installed arch on this laptop.

Never mind I installed gnome as I intended to from the iso and with NetworkManager things are working. Not sure what installed that solved it, but. Thanks sorry for the noise.
