Hi,
It's my first message on this forum, i'm a noob with archlinux so please try to detail your explanation
My problem is a little bit strange, during the installation i chose the wl package, but when i write
#modprobe wl
The answer is FATAL: No found wl.
I try to connect on the Internet, with wireless card Broadcom b4312 that doesn't work...
ipconfig and iwconfig show No device ....
Thanks for help.

I haven't installed Arch for a while. Is there really an option for the broadcom wl driver during the install now?
Whether or not there is, it doesn't appear to be installed. The package in in the AUR.

Building is not enough. Do you have it installed?
pacman -Q wl

For broadcom chip mentioned native is not working. This AUR package is working. Details can be read from the wirless wiki. In Dell mini 9 netbook with the same chip set wirless is working. I am using wicd for network manager.

I know, this post is a bit old, but I've found an easy resolution for this problem:
Go into the bcm source-directory, then run "make && sudo make install"
After this, you can load 'wl' with insmod "insmod /lib/modules/`uname -r`/kernel/drivers/net/wireless/wl.ko". To get the module run with modprobe you will need to run "depmod -a".
Greetings,
Nathan
