Hello,
I’m a new Linux user with little prior knowledge.
It would be nice if someone could help me with my problem.
At my MacBookPro 2015 (11,4) I can’t activate WiFi under Manjaro. The camera and SD card reader also don’t work, I think is related to the same driver.
WiFi works under Fedora and there is the brcmfmac_wcc Broadcom driver installed, which is not available under Majaro.
May Wifi run with this driver?
How do I get this installed in Manjaro?

Hi @kasentaler, and welcome!

In order for us, or anyone for that matter, to be able to provide assistance, more information is necessary. To that end, please see:

Please also note and heed: Forum Rules - Manjaro

Hope you manage!

:bangbang: Tip for legibility: :bangbang:

To provide terminal output, copy the text you wish to share, and paste it here, surrounded by three (3) backticks, a.k.a grave accents. Like this:

```
pasted text
```

Or three (3) tilde signs, like this:

~~~
pasted text
~~~

This will just cause it to be rendered like this:

Portaest sed
elementum
cursus nisl nisi
hendrerit ac quis
sit
adipiscing
tortor sit leo commodo.

Instead of like this:

Portaest sed elementum cursus nisl nisi hendrerit ac quis sit adipiscing tortor sit leo commodo.

Alternatively, paste the text you wish to format as terminal output, select all pasted text, and click the </> button on the taskbar. This will indent the whole pasted section with one TAB, causing it to render the same way as described above.

Thereby improving legibility and making it much easier for those trying to be of assistance.

:bangbang::bangbang: Additionally

If your language isn’t English, please prepend any and all terminal commands with LC_ALL=C. For example:

LC_ALL=C bluetoothctl

This will just cause the terminal output to be in English, making it easier to understand and debug.

Please edit your post accordingly.

Note that the above text is partially pre-prepared as a general introduction for new forum Users. Please take the time to follow links given and learn how to create effective Support requests and encourage quality responses.

Please also provide the output of:

journalctl --grep=brcmfmac

It’s probably this issue. More model-specific info for wifi, camera and card reader are here.

If that doesn’t help
