[SOLVED] WiFi issues

Hi,

I am completely new to arch and recently tried to install it on one of my old laptops following the Installation Guide.

Everything seems to be working nicely till now except from the fact that although I was able to use my WiFi device during installation with iwctl ('$lspci -k' outputs the Broadcom device stating that the wl Kernel driver is in use) I don't seem to be able to get it to work after rebooting ('$lspci -k' does output the name of the device but no Kernel Driver seems to be loaded).

I tried to find some answers here and there but didn't find a solution to my problem.

I m hoping that I am not repeating resolved issues. :-)
