Following my previous post this approach works for my pbp:
Create an sd card following the below instructions (only step 1-5):
https://github.com/SvenKiljan/archlinuxa...mmc-module
You then have a /lib/firmware/brcm folder containing the required drivers.
Copy the contents over to your installation and it should be working (at least for me it did). I think a more solid approach is to follow all steps in the instructions, then insert the sd in your pbp, boot and check if you can indeed connect to your wifi router (step 12 of the instructions).
For posterity I would have liked to attach the compressed directory and its contents to this post but it seems uploading does not work.
