| Proprietary Broadcom drivers are packaged and available in the rpmfusion repo. | |
| Verify that your card is a Broadcom using: `lspci -vnn -d 14e4:` | |
| **Sample output:** | |
| 02:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4360 802.11ac Wireless Network Adapter [14e4:43a0] (rev 03) | |
| ## Install | |
| Install the [rpmfusion](http://rpmfusion.org/) repo, note only "nonfree" is required, as the Broadcom Driver is proprietry: http://rpmfusion.org/ | |
| su -c 'dnf install -y http://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm' | |
| Then install the `akmods` and `kernel-devel` packages (special thanks to [@celsom3](https://gist.github.com/celsom3) for providing this): | |
| sudo dnf install -y akmods "kernel-devel-uname-r == $(uname -r)" | |
| Finally install `broadcom-wl` package from the rpmfusion repo, which will install kmod-wl, akmod-wl, and other dependencies. | |
| sudo dnf install -y broadcom-wl | |
| Next run `akmods` to rebuild the kernel extension in the `broadcom-wl` package: | |
| sudo akmods | |
| Finally, `reboot` Fedora. | |
| ## Troubleshooting | |
| - `lsmod` to list all kernel modules | |
| - `sudo modprobe wl` will force the wireless kernel extension to load. | |
| - `sudo systemctl restart NetworkManager` |
Works for me! Tks!
My pleasure!
Simply great! Worked for my old Inspiron 1525 with Broadcom on Fedora 39. Thanks for this!
