I have a rough idea of what to do, as I've (through hours) got it sorta working on other distros a long time ago, but I can't get it working on Arch Linux..
lspci returns:
0b:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g (rev 01)
Why the 0b:00.0? Dunno.
I installed the B43 drivers that supposedly worked and blacklisted -ssb..
MODULES=(lib80211 !b43 !ssb !snd_intel8x0m)
And it seems to find my card! It's eth1 instead of wlan0 and appears as this with iwconfig:
eth1 IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:"" Nickname:""
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.412 GHz Access Point: Not-Associated
Bit Rate:54 Mb/s Tx-Power:32 dBm
Retry min limit:7 RTS thr:off Fragment thr:off
Power Management:off
Link Quality=4/5 Signal level=-60 dBm Noise level=-91 dBm
Rx invalid nwid:0 Rx invalid crypt:0 Rx invalid frag:0
Tx excessive retries:2 Invalid misc:0 Missed beacon:0
I turned power management off as mentioned once but it seems I can't connect to anything.... trying iwconfig essid "KPCE" key 0000000000
makes it appear as this..
eth1 IEEE 802.11bg ESSID:"KPCE9000" Nickname:""
Mode:Managed Frequency:2.462 GHz Access Point: 00:18:D1:88:A0:91
But it won't connect with my ethernet cable plugged out! .. Am I missing something? I installed NDISWRAPPER just now with the Windows driver and it looks better, but outputs the same sorta thing.
(The key is in hex, will "key 0000000000" work? ,maybe it's that stupid thing) ..

Nevermind, I solved it by using ndiswrapper on an old USB network card, it works! My sanity is saved!

PLEASE read and try to FIX/FILE BUGS instead of assuming other have/will.
