OK, this is getting silly. TL;DR: this is a Secure Boot issue that has nothing to do with this specific driver. Bibliography and references: https://github.com/patjak/bcwc_pcie/issues/244#issuecomment-864510459. Easiest solution for Manjaro (probably, I don’t run Manjaro and never have): grab bcwc-pcie-git from AUR, it uses DKMS which should solve this for you.

Can someone please write up a list of instructions for people on different distros? I’m not hitting this issue personally and don’t trust myself to do it blindly.
