    This is the fix I needed to get WiFi working. I had browsed several forums saying that removing broadcom-wl(-dkms) would fix the problems I was having, but it turns out you need to stop using wpa_supplicant due to a bug or something. Not sure why the AUR pkgbuild failed but it seems like this way was simpler anyway

      😍this is awesome! I have a MBP running endeavourOS as well! I think some things written there, apply to my system (2013) as well

      For my setup, endeavourOS was the only distro that got wifi working out of box 🤭 maybe it is different now

      I have KDE and use whatever WiFi authentication system is used there by default Seems WPA_Supplican, at least it is installed Oh, but iwd is installed as well 🤔

      I have BCMM4360 and it uses the driver wl

      Do you have the same chip?

      And, was the issue it working not at all, or that it crashed sometimes while in use and needed a reboot in order to work again?

        It was not showing wifi at all, until I uninstalled the -wl-dmks module. Then i could see the wifi but no connection was ever made, until the iwd backend took over. I have the 43602, so very similar chip but different setup to make it work afaik.
