Wireless Setup on Arch Linux

Question

I am a new Archer, and when I compile wireless driver on my computer, I come across a problem:

make: *** /lib/modules/3.1.4-1-ARCH/build: No such file or directory.  Stop.

My wireless firmware is Broadcom BCM4313, and I have installed linux-headers-3.1.5-1 in my computer. I do not know how to solve this problem. Here is some information about my system:

$ uname -a
Linux myhost 3.1.4-1-ARCH #1 SMP PREEMPT Tue Nov 29 09:08:04 UTC 2011 i686 AMD Phenom(tm) II N930 Quad-Core Processor AuthenticAMD GNU/Linux
$ ls /lib/modules/3.1.4-1-ARCH
extramodules         modules.dep          modules.order
kernel               modules.dep.bin      modules.pcimap
modules.alias        modules.devname      modules.seriomap
modules.alias.bin    modules.ieee1394map  modules.softdep
modules.builtin      modules.inputmap     modules.symbols
modules.builtin.bin  modules.isapnpmap    modules.symbols.bin
modules.ccwmap       modules.ofmap        modules.usbmap

I have found the way out.It is because my kernel is 3.1.4-1,but my linux-headers is 3.1.5-1.I have update my kernel to 3.1.5-1,and the problem solved. — moiyer, Dec 22 '11 at 16:06

I recommend you use broadcom-wl package. It works for me with broadcom 4312 (I know you have 4313, but i'm taking a wild guess it should work for you too). The module name will be wl. It's the closed source driver because the open source driver sometimes takes up to 100% of my CPU for some reason.
