I've just got Arch up and running on my Macbook 5 and I honestly have no idea whatsoever how to get the wifi working. I see conflicting information in any documentation I can find through google or the archwiki. Apparently, the wifi should just work out of the box because the kernel has the brcmsmac module-- I have
Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM43224 802.11a/b/g/n (rev 01)
according to lspci | grep Network. In rc.conf, I put wlan0 under 'interface' and brcmsmac under MODULES. Unfortunately that seems to do nothing at all. Pinging google, for instance, gets me the usual 'unknown host' message.
I noticed that the 3.0 kernel came out just yesterday, perhaps that updated something, making the guide on the wiki is no longer up to date... or perhaps I've missed something?

rc.conf can handle only a single wired interface.

For a wireless network card..?
DrKillPatient, have a look here for possible solutions: https://bbs.archlinux.org/viewtopic.php … 82#p973382

I've got netcfg installed now, and a 'home' directory in network.d. However, when I do 'netcfg home', it tells me the profile doesn't exist... Do I need to add it to another list somewhere?

'home' directory? I think it should be a file.
Have you configured your profile properly? Look at the examples, it should be easy.

Oh, I'm supposed to pick one format from the examples folder and use that! It's up and running now, thanks. One more question, how would I connect to a public, non-passworded network, like linksys?

There should be an example of an open network in the profiles directory.
