BCM4331 works better with broadcom-wl-dkms than with b43-firmware. I was having some wifi flakiness issues when using the BCM4331 card with b43-firmware AUR, but those issues have been fixed after removing the package and using broadcom-wl-dkms instead. The following statement appears on the Broadcom wireless#b43 wiki section:

(and possibly newer) use BCM4331 for Wifi. See Broadcom wireless for details. The Mac Mini 5.1 Also uses the Broadcom BCM4331 Wi-Fi Chip.

I have a problem with the BCM4331 card. So I was given a 2012 Macbook Pro (8,2) and I've successfully installed Arch without any problems. Everything seems to work out of the box except for the network card. Ethernet connection is good but the wireless is very slow and clunky. What I've done so far:

Preparing For The Installation

For the reasons explained, I think it would be better to suggest the use of broadcom-wl-dkms for BCM4331 users, also because the package is already in the community repository..

In both cases you need to load the appropriate modules with modprobe (b43 or wl) before running wifi-menu.
