Details

Description:
After an update and a reboot, the `wl` kernel module is not present and cannot be probed.

After some research on my computer, I noticed that pacman actually installed it...On the wrong kernel version!

The last package version installs `usr/lib/modules/6.2.2-arch2-1/extramodules/wl.ko.xz` instead of `usr/lib/modules/6.2.5-arch1-1/extramodules/wl.ko.xz`

Additional info:
* package version(s): broadcom-wl 6.30.223.271-457
* config and/or log files etc.
* link to upstream bug report, if any

Steps to reproduce:

Install the last `broadcom-wl` driver
```sh
pacman -Sy broadcom-wl
```

and try to probe the module:
```sh
modprobe wl
modprobe: FATAL: Module wl not found in directory /lib/modules/6.2.5-arch1-1
```
This task depends upon

It appears your mirror was slightly out of date at the time you updated. You can easily see it is correct on the web [1].
