Trying to get wireless internet to work, broadcom

I installed broadcom-wl via aur and everything in that sense worked. However now that I run iwconfig the wlan0 does not show up, I checked so that ssb and b43 is not running by doing lsmod however I also noticed also that lib80211 isn't in that list (if that could have something to do with it, dunno) whereas lib80211_crypt-tkip is. I'm sure the router is running and all as I'm currrently connected wired to it.

Show us the output of lspci | grep Wireless

Also, have you read the wiki page for "Wireless Setup"

lspci | grep Wireless gave me nothing :S.

And yah I followed it, I downloaded the net tools and the broadcom drivers and added them to the modules.

Just paste the entire output of lspci in that case.
