Furthermore I would like to know what driver I should use and which to
keep blacklisted. On this webpage:

https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/broadcom_wireless

I see the following:

Device inaccessible after kernel upgrade
----------------------------------------
Since the 3.3.1 kernel the bcma module was introduced. If using a brcm80211 
driver be sure it has not been blacklisted. It should be blackisted if using a 
b43 driver.

If you are using broadcom-wlAUR, uninstall and reinstall it after
upgrading your kernel or switch to broadcom-wl-dkms package.

>From the Broadcom doc. available at:


I have this entry

14e4:4331           firmware-b43-installer
firmware-b43-installer    <---  Broadcom Limited BCM4331 802.11a/b/g/n

meaning the driver to use is in package 'firmware-b43-installer' (a b43
driver)

So, from what I see I shouldn't use bcma ...

in /etc/modprobe.d/blaclist-bcm43.conf I have

# Warning: This file is autogenerated by bcmwl. All changes to this file will 
be lost.
blacklist b43
blacklist b43legacy
blacklist ssb
blacklist bcm43xx
blacklist brcm80211
blacklist brcmfmac
blacklist brcmsmac
blacklist bcma
