New to Manjaro.
which gives links to a driver on Github
Short guide to setup Archlinux on a Linx 12x64 Cherry Trail Tablet
and lists the commands to install the driver in terminal from the driver directory.
sudo cp 4345r6nvram.txt /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac43455-sdio.txt
sudo cp brcmfmac43455-sdio.clm_blob /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac43455-sdio.clm_blob
sudo cp BCM4345C0_003.001.025.0110.0169.hcd /lib/firmware/brcm/BCM43455C0.hcd
sudo modprobe -r brcmfmac && sudo modprobe brcmfmac
Doing this kind of works as I can see the local networks after running the commands but it will not accept the WiFi password key.
Any help would be gratefully recieved.
Thank you for getting back so quickly. I tried to link to the original posts regarding WiFi that were made on the Manjaro forum and referenced in the video but I guess it was just too long ago.

Thanks for any suggestions.
This is reported to work on an older version of Ubuntu:
Download the following file:
https://github.com/RPi-Distro/firmware-nonfree/blob/master/brcm/brcmfmac43455-sdio.txt
Copy it into your device’s /lib/firmware/brcm/ folder.
sudo modprobe -r brcmfmac
Reboot
I have no idea if this will work and do not have the hardware to try.

I dont know anything myself but…
According to the docs this device should be supported by brcmfmac version 4.1 onward.
https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/brcm80211
I did see the initial inxi showed no device info at all … but I wonder about modprobing etc without these extra manual drivers.
Thank you but this did not work. Certainly worth a try though.
Tried this and this is what I got
sudo modprobe --show-depends brcmfmac
In over my head here, maybe someone can make sense of what is required.
No idea either, but take note that kernel 6.9 is EOL. I would try a LTS kernel such as 6.1 or 6.6 (try both) or 6.10.
@jrichard326 That could be one for the future. I love the way that everything else works well in Manjaro. I might have to ut up with the inconvenience of a USB WiFi adaptor and just enjoy the ride.
This is not the solution for Manjero but the information here might be useful for anyone looking for a fully functional operating system to replace Windows 10 on the Linx 12x64.here and did the following running Nobara-40-KDE-2024-08-15.iso Live.sudo cp 4345r6nvram.txt /lib/firmware/brcm/brcmfmac43455-sdio.txt and then sudo modprobe -r brcmfmac && sudo modprobe brcmfmac
