Please provide the logs from NetworkManager. Does it work with wpa_supplicant?

Hello,

I have the same issue, although I am using the broadcom-wl drivers (6.30.223.271-182). I hope it is alright for me to comment here. If i need to open a separate ticket please let me know. It is my first time posting.

My network interface is: Network controller: Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries BCM4360 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter (rev 03)
Laptop is a MacBookPro11,3

Attached are my NetworkManager logs. I upgraded at 7:56am and restarted. It seems that I lost the wl kernel module as NetworkManager did not detect my wireless interface wlp3s0 after the reboot. It was working fine prior to the reboot. Running lsmod | grep wl produced no output.

I tried inserting the wl kernel module using insmod and modprobe without success.

Mar 31 17:52:24 arch sudo[9513]: alex : TTY=pts/1 ; PWD=/home/alex ; USER=root ; COMMAND=/usr/bin/modprobe wl --verbose
Mar 31 17:52:24 arch kernel: wl: version magic '5.5.13-arch1-1 SMP preempt mod_unload ' should be '5.5.13-arch2-1 SMP preempt mod_unload '

I also tried removing broadcom-wl and installing again without success.

I hope this is helpful. If I can provide any more information please let me know.

Thank you,

Alex

Alex, that's an external module problem, totally different from what the OP has. You have an unsupported partial update, so it's not a bug at all.

sorry for my late answer. everything is normal in the logs, just some timeout warnings. networkmanager didn't find/give any error.
i thought problem is driver for this reason.
