Broadcom not working but worked on previous arch install

so i installed arch for fun today and i am having an issue with my broadcom 43228. I installed the b43 package from the aur and i am not getting the device info with ip config. the output of dmesg (summed up) basically finds the drivers but then returns and fails with error-2 then proceeds to tell me that its not found. I have installed arch on this same machine before and didn't have this problem at all.

Do not "sum up".  Please provide actual logs.

Is the b43 module loaded?  If not, can you load it with modprobe?

Re: Broadcom not working but worked on previous arch install

fails with error-2

"summed up":
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?K=firmware
https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Broadcom_wireless
Alternatively the chip is also supportd by broadcom-wl

I have installed arch on this same machine before

"summed up":

I have installed another arch derivate that ships w/ the wl driver on this same machine before

Yep I followed those and I have installed the wl driver hoping that it would work. And I have loaded and or force loaded the module with mod probe but still nothing. I have rebooted my computer multiple times as well.
