In fact there are two drivers due to Broadcom licence. bmca-pci-bridge is by default and the other must be installed : You must install linux-latest-broadcom-wl and following your kernel for sample for me linux515-broadcom-wl.
To know your kernel type:
uname -a
And you can check if you have the good driver after by
I found the kernel is actually Linux 5.15.7 as doing uname -a showed
Had wrong guess thinking 5.15.7-1-MANJARO as my kernel name, woops!!!
After you helped me understand commands better (thank you :-] ) I found a website in the opensuse forums called " Thread: Install Broadcom Drivers from Packman". It was helpful like my friend Cenwen here.
While I was meant to do:
Code:
zypper in broadcom-wl broadcom-wl-kmp-_____
(Don’t know what the underscore was meant to be, linux? It said target not found when I tried sudo pacman -S broadcom-wl-kmp-linux)
I don’t have zypper so I use pacman, as pacman is default
I do this command:
sudo pacman -S broadcom-wl and selected option 7 as my version is 5.15 (shown in command as linux515)
After a reboot, it worked!
Also, as I type this, it seems as this command is the same as yours, but I was too nooby to understand how to install it (I didn’t know I needed pacman)
Now I have learnt more, got my problem fixed, and working wifi now!

Indeed.
I do this command:
sudo pacman -S broadcom-wl and selected option 7 as my version is 5.15 (shown in command as linux515)

Perfect. Just one word about suse and zypper. They don’t work on manjaro, our tool is pacman and some graphical tools which are using pacman and other like yay (for AUR packages which are not available in official repositories) in backend. You should must take a look at the links given by jrichard326.
