Any idea how to fix this? Macbookair description: Notebook product: MacBookAir6,2 (System SKU#) vendor: Apple Inc. Version: 1.0 serial.

My new 2013 13' MBA uses 14e4:43a0 like you reported, but the OP says 14e4:1570. 43a0 is wlan and 1570 some other device made by Broadcom. Hope I answered all questions.
Arch runs smooth so far. There are 2 issues I did't solve so far. Will invest some time there tomorrow: Keyboard: ' ' and '^°¬' key switched there places. 'fn' key does not work (no key press shown by xev). Touchpad: I wasn't able to activate 2 finger scroll so far. My synaptics configuration from my old MacBook Pro does not work.

Oops, why noone asked on b43-dev mailing list? Unfortunately b43 doesn't support 802.11ac hardware yet. Can someone of you help me by providing some details about this 14e4:43a0? To do that please: 1) Remove wl driver temporary: rmmod wl 2) Try using 'bcma' module: modprobe bcma echo '14e4 43a0' /sys/bus/pci/drivers/bcma-pci-bridge/newid dmesg grep bcma (and provide output of the above dmesg command) 3) That's is.
You can go back to 'wl' now: rmmod bcma modprobe wl (or just reboot the OS) Followed your instructions. Here is the dmesg output. If you are okay with it always being eth0, then you can simply create a blank file in /etc/udev/rules.d/80-net-slot-names.rules (or symlink it to /dev/null). This will mask the rule of the same name in /usr/lib/udev/rules.d causing it to go back to the old kernel naming scheme. Alternatively, you could create persistent naming for the device. This is explained in the wiki, and involves writing a very simple udev rule.
Keep in mind that typically broadcom cards were a pain in the ass with the old naming scheme just because they named themselves in the same kernel anmespace as the ehtenet card. So you never knew which one would be eth0 and which would be eth1. But in a Macbook Air, you don't have an ethernet device for it to fight for name space with. If you are okay with it always being eth0, then you can simply create a blank file in /etc/udev/rules.d/80-net-slot-names.rules (or symlink it to /dev/null).

Thanks a bunch, that solves that problem at least! Just a short thing if anybody else comes here: It should be /etc/udev/rules.d/80-net-name-slot.rules.

Happy mba owners. Can you please comment on arch installation procedure? Was reefit used? What kind of image was used? Kernel version?

Recent phoronix article reveals that linux on 11' mba is quite unstable, altho they did used ubuntu 13.10 image. Also, i would very appreciate if someone would post boot log. Feels a bit OT, so I made a with more general talk about this generation MBAs. This laptop seems very promising - there sure is some stuff to work with before it feels like it's actually working (somewhat different issues than the Phoronix guy talked about, though). Hopefully by the power of this community we can make it to the best ultrabook experience so far! Last edited by Legogris (2013-06-27 19:58:39).
