Hi, I need help with my MacBook Pro 2017 model macbookpro14,2 the wi-fi not connect to network wireless.
02:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries BCM43602 802.11ac Wireless LAN SoC (rev 02).
Kernel version: 5.10.49-1-MANJARO
Run:
sudo mhwd -i pci network-broadcom-wl
and reboot. It should work then.

When executed the command:
linux510-broadcom-wl: install reason has been set to ‘explicitly installed’
modprobe: FATAL: Module bcm43xx not found.
modprobe: FATAL: Module brcm80211 not found.
modprobe: ERROR: could not insert ‘wl’: Exec format error
I tried the same command with the same output as mentioned above. Is there something else I can try to get my wifi working?
Sorry for the late answer, but I have no idea what you have done before… At least on my system it installs without problems:
$ export LANG=C
$ sudo mhwd -i pci network-broadcom-wl Warning: no matching device for config 'network-broadcom-wl' found!

modprobe: FATAL: Module wl not found in directory /lib/modules/5.10.52-1-MANJARO
> Successfully installed network-broadcom-wl
The reason for this:
modprobe: FATAL: Module wl not found in directory /lib/modules/5.10.52-1-MANJARO
is just the fact, that the kernel version does not match:
$ ls /lib/modules/5.10.52-1-MANJARO
ls: cannot access '/lib/modules/5.10.52-1-MANJARO': No such file or directory
But this works:
$ ls /lib/modules/5.10.53-1-MANJARO
build modules.alias modules.builtin.bin modules.devname modules.symbols.bin
extramodules modules.alias.bin modules.builtin.modinfo modules.order pkgbase
kernel modules.builtin modules.dep modules.softdep vmlinuz
kernelbase modules.builtin.alias.bin modules.dep.bin modules.symbols
However… It is just a minor script bug for loading the driver instantly.
Just reboot and it will load at boot time.
Check this:
find /lib/modules/ -name "wl"
Hi @megavolt when I run this command
sudo mhwd -i pci network-broadcom-wl the wifi icon disappears. Do you have macbook pro 14,2 2017? network card model: Network controller: Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries BCM43602 802.11ac Wireless LAN SoC (rev 02)
That is normal since the command also unloads all related drivers and try to load wl.
No, and I never owned a single product of apple.
