lets try dkms version, since you have already installed headers:
pamac install broadcom-wl-dkms
reboot and test
when i reboot, i pick linux 515 right?
if you alredy booted with the 5.15 it will remember it and boot with it automatically, so just press enter in grub menu if you dont want to wait those 5 seconds

the command pamac install broadcom-wl-dkms
gave the following error

wait it wants the 515 rt kernel… and you dont have it installed… just reboot and see
i rebooted, its detecting the router, but i dont have any option for the SSID.
when i do ip a its still in state DORMANT
when you click on the wifi tray icon are there any networks being detected?
nop, the icon has an X on it.
broadcom-wl-dkms tries to compile for each kernel installed, its okay if you haven’t installed the kernel headers for a kernel you’re not using.
To install kernel headers (for example, replace with the actual kernel you want to use): pamac install linux519-headers
After it installs, you may need this to get it active:
sudo dkms install broadcom-wl/6.30.223.271 -k 5.15.72-1-MANJARO
sudo modprobe wl
Edit - I muddied the sequence, should be
- install kernel headers
- install broadcom-wl
- dkms install
- modprobe
alternatively install 515-broadcom-wl instead of 1-4 above
try what mishmosh suggest with:
and also provide output from:
ls /etc/mkinitcpio.d/*.preset
sudo ls /boot/initramfs-*
sudo ls /boot/vmlinuz-*
sudo ls /usr/lib/modules/*
tried what mishmosh suggested, rebooted, nothin changed
and here is the output of the commands

here is a leftover from the 5.15 rt kernel, navigate there and remove it…
and post again output from:
inxi -N

there are 5.15.71.1-rt51… and 5.515.72.1
do i remove both the normal and the rt?
only the rt one!!! its a leftover …
removed it, here is the output on the inxi command
[djamel@djamel modules]$ inxi -N

maybe i should reboot?
LOL and I’ve lost track which kernel you’re now running …
uname -r
If you’re in 5.15, try the modprobe again since the reboot …
sudo modprobe wl
[djamel@djamel modules]$ uname -r
5.15.72-1-MANJARO
[djamel@djamel modules]$
``` im running 5.15
