Bluetooth problems after installer b43-firmware

Hi all,
last week I have installed Arch Linux w. XFCE4 using the 12.2021 installer on my MacBook Pro 9,2 (Mid 2012). The installation went smooth onto its own ssd so there is no Mac OS left to worry about. After fixing some smaller issues and working some time with the new system I thought it was time for one of the last remaining steps: activating wlan. The MB Pro has a Broadcom BCM4331 wifi chip so I installed the b43-firmware from the AUR repository. After reboot the first thing I remembered is that I cant type my password at the login prompt with my bluetooth keyboard. After logging in with the MB keyboard every time I try to use the bluetooth mouse or keyboard I got endless "Device connected" / "Device disconnected" messages. On the other hand wifi was working without any problems. Deinstalling the b43-firmware removes wifi but I can write this post using my bluetooth keyboard. Has anybody a tip how to make both bluetooth and wlan working at the same time?

Best regards,

Mike
