MacBook WiFi - BCM4360

[sknawt]

Hello all,

I've been having trouble with a MacBook broadcom wireless chipset (BCM4360) not working. I'm really new to Linux in general so I'm not sure how to get the proper driver set--right now it's trying to use the "bcma" module despite having installed "linux-rt-lts-manjaro-broadcom-wl".

Looking at the wiki, it states I need to have "broadcom-wl" installed for my chipset; however, searching for "broadcom-wl" doesn't yield anything even in the AUR. Is "linux-rt-lts-manjaro-broadcom-wl" the correct package for my Linux kernel? I'm currently running 4.14.67-1. Thank you.

Follow these steps to hopefully resolve your broadcom driver issues.

Broadcom wifi driver fails to install properly

Examples: Kernel driver in use: bcma-pci-bridge Kernel modules: bcma Kernel driver in use: b43-pci-bridge Kernel modules: ssb If your WiFi connection is not working correctly you will need an alternate means to connect to the internet. You can use a wired LAN connection if your computer has a wired NIC (and a connection is available). The other…

You're very welcome. Wow, that probably rates as an all time quickest WiFi fix. Glad you got it resolved.
