BCM4318 Cannot get to work on Acer Aspire 5100

Ok so I just installed Arch on my Aspire 5100 and it has a PCI BCM4318 Wireless LAN card.  I cannot get it to work or find networks with ndiswrapper or anything.  I am using gnome and it keeps telling me I don't have the firmware installed when I followed every possible guide for the card.  Also, I can't get any other user accounts I've made to work with startx, and I'm doing a big no no by using starx with root.

You might want to check if you somehow ended up with your files at $HOME being owned by root. This might prevent you from starting X.
As for the wireless driver, I have no idea, sorry.
