broadcom-wl

Hello.

I am trying to install the broadcom-wl drivers for my hp mini 5101 laptop, as is described on wiki:
http://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/HP_Mini_5101

But im kind of stuck. I have tried installing it with pacman, but it reurns
loading package data...
error: missing package metadata in hybrid-portsrc-x86_32-v5.10.91.9.3.tar.gz
error: 'hybrid-portsrc-x86_32-v5.10.91.9.3.tar.gz': invalid or corrupted package

Anyone know what to do?

I'm not clear from your post what exactly you tried, but I don't think you're using the AUR correctly.  You can either use a AUR helper like yaourt or aurbuild to download and build from the AUR, or you can download the PKGBUILD and source yourself, use makepkg to build it, and install with pacman.

Ah, had no idea what yaourt was, but it did the trick.
