How do I replace Manjaro xfce 21 wifi driver for BCM4313 driver?


Hello. I have just installed the new Manjaro linux 21 on an old Samsung laptop that has the wifi BCM4313 chip. For some strange reason my wifi speeds are extremely slow. I previously ran MX linux 21 on this machine without this issue. I don't understand why Manjaro has this problem. I suspect the driver is not appropriate.
Details on my system are;

03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries BCM4313 802.11bgn Wireless Network Adapter [14e4:4727] (rev 01)
Subsystem: Wistron NeWeb Corp. Device [185f:051a]
Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 16
Memory at fea00000 (64-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=16K]
Capabilities: <access denied>
Kernel driver in use: bcma-pci-bridge
Kernel modules: bcma


How do I replace the current Manjaro wifi driver and replace it with appropriate driver for Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries BCM4313?
Thank you in advance.
Frank

I found an article that might help: https://www.dedoimedo.com/computers/...-wireless.html

I have no way of testing it, as none my current machines have Broadcom.

Since you are using Manjaro, the arch wiki has a page on broadcom wifi:
