Every time you update your Fedora or in a plain new installation, run these commands to get your wifi working. | |

1- install the kernel-devel packages: | |
sudo dnf install akmods "kernel-devel-uname-r == $(uname -r)" | |
2- install broadcom-wl: | |
sudo dnf install broadcom-wl | |
3- then run akmods: | |
sudo akmods | |
