Not sure if this is the same issue but same sort/brand see this post on the old, old forum:
https://classicforum.manjaro.org/index.php?topic=33790.0
Finding out the specific chip and looking for that chip + manjaro or arch is a good starting point.
This made me chuckle
ive tryed this however it never installed a driver for it that i know of in the first place, and didnt work after it tryed.

Again, not sure but your device seems to have the bcm43241 chip and it does have some support issues as read here: [SOLVED] BCM43241 wireless card seems to not exist. / Kernel & Hardware / Arch Linux Forums
Never actually have had this problem so this is a guess. If 
does not help solve it or if you have more questions, post them. Probable solution: en:users:drivers:brcm80211 [Linux Wireless]
Scoll down to For SDIO driver you need to copy the nvram for your system and place it in /lib/firmware/brcm. The nvram file name depends on the chip you have. The kernel log will tell you the exact file name.
i tryed downloading a b 43 firmware from AUR and then sudo modprobe b43. but nothing happened, keep in mind im newb. did i miss somthing?
The package probably has some instructions to follow, I don’t know, please leave the name of the aur package & the command you used + output.
There is a broadcom drivers package (BCM43142)in the community repository, I presumed that you tried that already?
btw How are you downloading this if your wifi is not working?
b43-firmware 6.30.163.46-1
sudo modprobe b43
no output
installed bcsm43142 reboot no wifi
sudo modprobe b43
no output
usb tethering to iphone witch wont work for the laptops intended purpose going forward, as i need to keep my phone with me, it worked out the box, tbh i dont think i know how to install drivers i thought it would just be as simple as installing them out the manager.
also found the name of the bluetooth/WLAN module :T77H462
i have no idea how to manualy install drivers or force them after install or whatevers going on.
This AUR package b43-firmware 6.30.163.46-1 ‘latest release’ is 5 years old.
It might work, there are probably some newer and better drivers.
Did you try to install a broadcom package from the community repository. eg Linux510-broadcom-wl?
It might support your chip. (look for the package that matches your installed kernel)
Summary
Get your installed kernels from mhwd-kernel -li and install the appropriate broadcom package.
$ mhwd-kernel -li
Currently running: 5.10.7-3-MANJARO (linux510)
The following kernels are installed in your system:
* linux510
* linux54
Find the package in the software library (pamac) and check if it is installed, if not, install it.
