[Arch] Network interface down...


Code:
lspci | grep Network
03:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM43602 802.11ac Wireless LAN SoC (rev 01)
I have swapped my
Code:
/lib/firmware/brcm/
with the files from https://github.com/rsalveti/ubuntu-l...-brcmfmac/brcm

Also, When I do modprobe -r /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac && modprobe /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac, it returns in dmesg this:

Code:
dmesg | grep brcm

I don't have any tools installed, and this is driving me crazy...
How do I also check to see if I can search for signals, without iw?

you are using archlinux?
these are for ubuntu.
doh.

broadcom firmware should be installed from the AUR.
also the archwiki has an article for that.
