One comment on the advice given here. Blockage of wireless with rfkill does not
prevent the formation of a wl** device - it only causes a failure to connect. If
the device is not created, failure to load firmware, or the blacklisting of a
driver should be suspected.
To the OP, have you ever fooled around with wl? You mentioned the Packman repo
earlier, and that makes me think you did. When you do that, its installation
process blacklists b43 (among other drivers), which leads to exactly what you
are seeing. In directory /dev/modprobe.d/, use grep to find all the files that
mention b43 or ssb, and delete all the lines that do.
