I am sorry. I didn't get that fully.  Anyway, I followed your instructions. I couldn't modprobe b43, as it was giving error.
Code: [Select]
modprobe: FATAL: Module b43 not found in directory /lib/modules/5.5.2-artix1-1
Also I installed broadcom-wl from https://www.archlinux.org/packages/community/x86_64/broadcom-wl/. After reboot I found my wifi is working properly. Here are my latest lsmod and dmesg.
lsmod : http://sprunge.us/eCPH4i
dmesg : http://sprunge.us/8opMCL

Now that my wifi is working, I'd like to mark this thread as Solved. How do I do that?

My sincerest thanks to you all!

Thanks.

Strange, because I have in my system b43 module included, although I have no broadcom HW.

broadcom-will is very limited driver

So what do you suggest? Should I install b43-firmware-classic and try?

Thanks.

Glad to know that you have made it work in your system. It's a bit odd since the first driver you tried, broadcom-wl-dkms is the same as this one and also from Arch repository.

no, no broadcom-wl driver  please, kernel have new and better driver

Played with both in fact. I got much better results from the wl driver on my device (BCM4xxx), more stable connection and faster transmission speed.

ok, that is possible for this old chipset, depends on firmware and other things too... but broadcom-wl driver is mostly not the "bad" choice.
Have a nice day...
