EVIL BROADCOM 4312 - help plz

Question

PLEASE CAN SOMEBODY HELP ME!!!
Its currently 22:00 where I am and the first day of school is tomorrow. My goal today was to build arch from the ground up for my netbook (compaq mini 110c-1100ca). I can tell you I built one hell of a monster(the gui is amazingly awesome) but no matter what I do it seems impossible to get the wifi working.
now unlike most newbies Ive looked around, in fact I've looked around for the last 5 hours on how to get this thing working and nothing seems to be helping. I've determined that my card is not supported by the b43 driver and after visiting about 10 different wiki pages and 3 different threads on the arch forums NOTHING is working!
can somebody send me to a tutorial that is 100% newbie friendly because I have some experience in linux and every tutorial so far has failed and not made sense.

on a side note, vlc media player does 720p anime on my netbook now... something that no other linux distro has done before!

I apologize, I didn't realize the lack of information.
for starters its a built in wifi on my Compaq mini 110c-1100ca netbook (http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/docu … ct=4051142)
the output from lspci is as follows:

02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Atheros Communications Atheros AR8132 / L1c Gigabit Ethernet Adapter (rev c0)
as stated above I have a Broadcom BCM 4312 802.11 b/g and as stated on the bcm compatibility page only the a/b/g model is compatible with the driver due to some sort of multiple ID issue or something?
once again, sorry for taking so long to post, I've been rather busy. thank you guys for all your help and support.
