I just installed Manjaro and it too does not allow the wifi card to work. Apparently Manjaro sees it but does not allow it to work.

Now what?

Can you post the output of lspci so we can determine what wireless card you have?

rfkill list all; returns empty.

firewire???

Blargh

I had a feeling I was going to see Broadcom.

1 members found this post helpful.

so it literally returns nothing? Or does it return command not found?

Your Broadcom BCM4312 card requires a "nonfree" driver.

You can download and install the driver directly from Broadcom: https://www.broadcom.com/support/dow...Infrastructure

Or, easier method, consult your distribution's documentation. Probably there is a distro-specific method to easily install the Broadcom driver. (But, I'm not a Manjaro user so I can't say for sure.)

Yes, an empty line.
Just the next prompt.

ala BartSr

OK, thanks but that card is not in their list. No download available. Tried that link with Win7Pro and Manjaro.

Thanks Folks,

Does Manjaro have access to AUR?

This post about Broadcom and Linux might help: http://www.linuxquestions.org/questi...0/#post4819241

OK, the driver listed is b43-pci-bridge
None of the suggestions seem to help.
I copied the slack drivers b43 (both).

Since I'm a greenie I am lost.
I looked over all of the links and they make no sense, sorry.
I can get around in Nitr-OS9 but not Arch. :-)

Yes this is ARCH Manjaro, latest one I believe, #232.

IdeZilla,

antiX will usually allow the automatic enabling of broadcom wifi drivers.

antiX-16.1 is based on Debian:
http://antix.mepis.org/index.php?title=Main_Page

Download the 32 bit antiX-16.1_386-full.iso:
http://antix.mepis.org/index.php?tit...Page#Downloads

antiX-16 FAQs:
http://download.tuxfamily.org/antix/...FAQ/index.html

To enable wifi after installation:

Menu > Control Centre > Network > Network Interfaces (ceni) > wlan0 > follow wizard and give SSID/network name and wifi password.

Thanks,
I will try this one.

The first driver on the list is the right one for your BCM4312 card:
