[solved] problem with wicd and broadcom

I have a compaq 515 with broadcom wireless

lspci:

03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g (rev 01)

I installed the b43 firmware from AUR

parts of rc.conf:

MODULES=(b43 ssb !b43legacy fglrx)
DAEMONS=(@syslog-ng !network dbus netfs @crond @alsa wicd)

iwconfig:

lo        no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.

wlan0     IEEE 802.11bg  Mode:Managed  Access Point: Not-Associated   
          Tx-Power=20 dBm   
          Retry  long limit:7   RTS thr:off   Fragment thr:off
          Power Management:off

ifconfig:

          RX bytes:0 (0.0 b)  TX bytes:0 (0.0 b)

sudo iwlist wlan0 scan:

wlan0     No scan results

wicd tells me it can't find wireless networks, wired works fine and it's managed with wicd
wireless works right on kubuntu, but not on arch
can anyone help me?
