There's no Wifi connection at all post installing

There's no Wifi connection post Artix fresh installation by live installer
hunch is no required driver is provided or ready because of not connecting wfi while doing the installation
So how to proceed to manage to have the suitable Broadcom drivers then a normal wifi connection
preferably done in back in the USB live installer ?

install "world/broadcom-wl-dkms"
use usb tethering to get access to internet.
you can also download it with another device from a mirror transfer it with a external drive, then install it with "pacman -U <path_to_package>"

I would advise anyone who wants a hassle-free wifi card to purchase something from the old atheros family. Wifi will work on any Linux distribution right out of the box, because the drivers are already in the kernel.

Here are the models I can offer:

full size   AR5BXB112      450 Mbps three antennas
half size  AR5BHB112      450 Mbps three antennas
half size          AR5B22      300 Mbps two antennas

All cards are dual-band (2.4Ghz/5Ghz).

The problem area remains your laptop, which may have a white list.
