broadcom-wl and knetworkmanager issues
ok so i know my card needs the broadcom wl driver which i was able to install from the aur without errors. The base kde desktop didn't have knetworkmanager installed by default, so i installed it. I believe that the wl driver is installed fine but knetworkmanager isnt working correctly, this is because even an ethernet connection doesn't show up. I have followed just about every guide on the internet and can not get knetworkmanager to work. PLEASE help!!! I'm new to arch, like new today, but i have some experience in other distros.

Re: broadcom-wl and knetworkmanager issues
don't forget to put "networkmanager" on your /etc/rc.conf after debus, and inactivate the network daemon (just change "network" to "!network" )
