Ive already installed gentoo via ethernet but i had to go to my living room for that so i wanted to to my pc back to my room, so i started to try to make my pcie card work, when i do ifconfig it doesn't show up, only my ethernet chip shows up when i do lspci -k i see it in the list, im new to gentoo so sorry if this sounds dumb, any help would be cool. :)

Hello and welcome.

Can you please show us the output of lspci -k

Basicly you nee to find the chipsed/vendor for your card and install the required drivers/modules. Here is the basic wiki about this topic: https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Wifi

Use the PCI-ID to identify your card, it may be supported.

The kernel installed the drivers.
Unless you're getting some dmesg output about firmware, etc, I don't see a problem.

What does "ifconfig -a" show?

kurtiscobain,

It may require firmware. dmesg will tell you about missing firmware.

Another popular problem is too many network interface managers.
You may have at most one.

Use wgetpaste to put all of dmesg onto a pastebin.

enp3s0 is my ethernet port on my mother board right? unless im dumb ifconfig -a shows that

Yes, eth0 (here renamed by a runaway udev to the silly name enp3s0) is traditionally a wired Ethernet connection. Please provide the dmesg output that NeddySeagoon requested.

kurtiscobain,

As your Wifi is not in ifconfig -a, its not network managers fighting over it.
That leaves missing firmware and your kernel.

Make friends with wgetpaste and put the output of dmesg onto a pastebin.

To save time, put your kernel .config file there too.

A brief description of your kernel build process would be good too.
Its very easy to miss a step, then you may have fixed your problem but not know it.

I have zero experience with Broadcom. Can give you only a few pointers. Make sure correct driver is enabled in kernel and the old B43 is disabled, I understand it interferes with newer driver. I think you need BRCMSMAC, but you better double-check (you haven't provided the PC-ID). You can have both, BRCMSMAC and BRCMFMAC and see which one works. I can only guess, you have the hardware, shouldn't be hard to figure out.

kurtiscobain,

Code:
[    9.593668] b43-phy0: Broadcom 4352 WLAN found (core revision 42)
[    9.594054] snd_hda_intel 0000:08:00.1: Force to non-snoop mode
[    9.594062] b43-phy0 ERROR: FOUND UNSUPPORTED PHY (Analog 12, Type 11 (AC), Revision 1)
[    9.594069] b43: probe of bcma0:1 failed with error -95
[    9.594084] Broadcom 43xx driver loaded [ Features: PNLS ]


You are either using the wrong kernel module, a kernel that is too old, or something else kernel related.

lspci looks promising.
Code:
04:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries BCM4360 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter (rev 03)
        Subsystem: Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries BCM4360 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter
        Kernel driver in use: bcma-pci-bridge
        Kernel modules: bcma, wl


Put your kernel .config onto a pastebin and post the output of
Code:
lspci -nnk
so we can see the Vendor and Device ID of your chipset.
The internet suggests that loading other Broadcom drivers will prevent this chipset working, even if the correct driver is loaded.
