Hi, I’ve just installed Manjaro today on an old Toshiba Satellite that was gathering dust. It has a Broadcom BCM43142 network controller which seems to require extra work to get working. After some googling, the fix seems relatively simple, if I had an ethernet port or a way of tethering my phone - but I don’t I’m afraid. How can I download the drivers on a different machine, to a USB stick to then be installed on my Manjaro machine?
Below is my inxi output:
