I have an HP dv4-1155se laptop with the quick launch buttons at the top. Volume, play,FF, etc all work (even if mute doesnt change color, it works) except for wifi. Although I used AUR to install my b43-firmware, the little button stays orange and unactivated. I think I might need a specific driver for it(?) but haven't found anything for it. Any ideas?

Ok, I have it mostly set up. sudo lshw -C network gives me:
*-network
description: Network controller
product: BCM4322 802.11a/b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller
vendor: Broadcom Corporation
physical id: 0
bus info: pci@0000:09:00.0
version: 01
width: 64 bits
clock: 33MHz
capabilities: pm msi pciexpress bus_master cap_list
configuration: driver=b43-pci-bridge latency=0
resources: irq:18 memory:d1100000-d1103fff
And my rc.conf looks like
MODULES=(fuse powernow-k8 cpufreq_ondemand lib80211_crypt_tkip wl)
The last two modules being the firmware.
Yet netcfg says that eth1 interface doesn't exist

Did you blacklist the b43 module? If both b43 and wl are loaded, neither will work. Sometimes b43 will get automatically loaded. Just guessing .... I've got an older hp working with the b43 driver. Your wireless is only supported with the wl driver.

I had removed b43 entirely beforehand. It was a combination of unhiding my wireless network, loading those modules up first, and using ArchAssistant, which is beyond-words amazing. I don't know if it goes againt the Arch Way by making life too convenient, but I love it.
