Wifi not working - Dell Inspiron 1564 - Broadcom BCM4312

Question

Hello everybody, I have a problem getting my wireless network working.
I already installed the necessary driver and wicd sees the network but is not getting connection.
Some friends of archlinux-br are helping me so far but still can not solve everything.
Start wicd was not finding networks more this has been solved now wicd connects to network but can not open any page.
We've tried to ping, change / etc / resolv.conf but no solution yet.
If anyone has any suggestions I appreciate it.
Thank you.

Answer 1

I do not understand.
I posted the previous message by windows since the wifi was not picking up on my network in the arch.
Reset to the arch and take wifi without me doing anything.
I ran some commands to identify what is currently running as probably go down again like before.
follows:

the output of dmesg me aware of this part:

This has something to do with the instability of the network?
