    The computer I am using has the Broadcom 106b:0134 adapter.
    By default it's using the: bmca-pci-bridge instead of the desired broadcom-wl
    To fix this, I found the following commands:

    pacman -s broadcom-wl

    This downloads and installs the driver that is needed.
    The other driver, broadcom-wl-dkms, wouldn't install for me.
    So, I proceeded to use the following command:

    echo 'blacklist bcma' | sudo tee -a /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist.conf

    This added the default bcma driver to a blacklist so that it won't be used.
    After the restart, my wireless card is now working and it was able to see my network.
