ProbeLabs65 findings · 95 requirementsA proof layer — requirements, tests and verified fixes — for two of Omarchy's subsystems: the application menu (launcher scripts, QML model, JSONC config, search and selection) and the lock screen (lock scripts, QML, PAM authentication). Scope is deliberately limited to those components of omacom/omarchy; the rest of the distribution is not covered.

Original report
System details
MacBook Pro 9,2, x86_64 (Intel), Broadcom BCM4331 802.11a/b/g/n [14e4:4331] (rev 02), Omarchy 3.0.0
What's wrong?
Issue Summary
Fresh Omarchy 3.0.1 installation on MacBook Pro 9,2 (2012) completed successfully, but WiFi was non-functional due to missing Broadcom BCM4331 wireless drivers.
Root Cause
- Hardware: Broadcom BCM4331 wireless chipset
- Symptoms: No wireless interface (
wlan0) created,iwctl device listshowed no devices - Cause: Missing
broadcom-wldriver
Resolution Steps
1. Internet Access
Used ethernet cable + Windows laptop internet sharing to get temporary connectivity.
2. Package Installation
sudo pacman -Sy # Update package database
sudo pacman -S linux-headers dkms broadcom-wl-dkms3. Driver Configuration
sudo modprobe wl4. Verfication
wlan0 interface appearediwctl functional
Outcome
WiFi fully operational. User can connect to networks normally via Omarchy WiFi menu.
Recommendation
Consider documenting BCM4331 driver installation in the Intel Mac setup guide.
