To do this, begin by ensuring that all Broadcom drivers have been unloaded. If the virtual loopback interface is the only listed interface, you may need to load an alternative Broadcom driver. If you can see your wireless interface in the list (ex wlan0), you should now be able to use iwctl to select and connect to a wireless network. You can list the network interfaces available from the installer environment by running ip link show. The b43 driver is also built-in to the kernel and included in the installation media, but it requires external proprietary firmware from the b43-firmware AUR package which will need to be downloaded from another machine connected to the internet. The broadcom-wl package is included in the Arch Linux installer, but may need to be manually enabled before the chipset will function correctly.

Other BCM43XX chipsets may only be supported by a proprietary driver such as b43 or broadcom-wl. Wirelessĭepending on your model of MacBookPro, you may have the Broadcom BCM43602 single-chip dual-band transceiver, which is supported by the open source brcm80211 module that is built-in to the Linux kernel and typically enabled by default. If you are using a Thunderbolt Ethernet adapter, you may need to power on the machine with the adapter plugged in for it to be picked up by the system. These adapters are usually picked up automatically. The easiest way to establish an internet connect is via a Thunderbolt Ethernet adapter or USB-to-Ethernet adapter.
