From the Newbie Corner
Had problems installing this package via pacman:
#pacman -S b43-firmware-classic
So here is what I did to install it:
cloned it with git (make sure you have installed git via pacman):
git clone https://aur.archlinux.org/b43-firmware-classic.git
cd b43-firmware-classic/
created a packge with makepkg (make sure you have installed the base-devel package via pacman):
makepkg -s
after creating the package I installed the b43-*.xz package via pacman:
#pacman -U b43-*.xz
after the installation is complete reboot
You should see the your br wl interface

People have been telling me to do that my whole life. They never seem to consider that I might be bipolar-1.

Some idiot just issued both deletion and orphan requests for this package. His stated reasons for doing so were as follows:
Deletion: "Hi, Can anybody provide me this package ? Git not found. Use for
bcm4312 . Thanx"
Orphan: "L can't find this package , can you upload it somebody ? Thanx"
I have just reinstalled this package without any problems. There is absolutely no reason to turn it over to someone else (or delete it).
You won't be able to build/install any AUR packages via 'pacman': it only works with prebuilt (i.e. repository) packages. To access the AUR, you will need to use something like 'yaourt' instead.
