After you've uninstalled b43-fwcutter reboot your computer. NB if you've no access to a wired network on your machine you will need to download the b43-fwcutter package manually from here, as well as your card's driver from here. My card is the 4311 so I download the broadcom-wl-4-150-10.5.tar.bz2.
Broadcom Bcm4323 Drivers Download
An Internet connection is the ideal way to install the broadcom-wl driver; many newer laptops with Broadcom cards forgo Ethernet ports, so a USB Ethernet adapter or Android tethering may be helpful. If you have neither, you will need to first install the base-devel package during installation. Then, use another Internet-connected computer to download linux-headers and the driver tarball from the AUR, and install them in that order.
broadcom-wl contains the proprietary closed source Broadcom driver. It contains closed source MIPS binaries with a few trivial open source files that allow it to be compiled against any kernel version.It's based on old Broadcom's sources (version 5.10.56.27.3) and supports many old 802.11g devices but very few 802.11n devices (BCM4716, BCM4717, BCM4718). It does not support new chipsets (BCM5356, BCM5357, BCM5358, BCM47186, BCM4331) or 802.11ac devices (BCM4352, BCM4360).For old devices it often has more functionality than the brcm80211 drivers. For example, it supports 40 MHz channels and power saving features, which have been removed before releasing brcm80211. It is capable of operating in AP mode and also supports the 5 GHz band.
This is mainly for NDIS5 drivers. The NDIS6 drivers are not supported yet.Link: -wifi-broadcom-bcm4312-on-dell-vostro-1710/ Fetch all the required packages & files and store them in a common directory
