GNU/Linux Fedora 32 Installing Broadcom-wl-dkms Driver Guide

Hi! The Tutorial shows you Step-by-Step How to Install Broadcom Wl DKMS Wi-Fi/Bluetooth Driver in Fedora 32 GNU/Linux.

And Broadcom Wireless Cards for Fedora 32 needs Proprietary Software (called “Firmware”) that Runs on the Wireless Chip itself to Work Properly.

Moreover, this Package contains Broadcom’s IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n Hybrid Linux Device Driver in use with Broadcom’s BCM43xx based Hardware.

Especially relevant: this Broadcom Wl DKMS variant is Kernel Agnostic and so it should be Automatically Rebuilded after a Kernel Upgrade.

The broadcom-wl-dkms Driver Supports the following Broadcom Wireless Chipsets:

  • BCM4311
  • BCM4312
  • BCM4313
  • BCM4321
  • BCM4322
  • BCM4331
  • BCM4352
  • BCM4360
  • BCM43142
  • BCM43224
  • BCM43225
  • BCM43227
  • BCM43228

But for BCM4306, BCM4309, and BCM4318 see instead: B43 Wireless Driver.

Last, for Mac 2018/2020 T2 Chip Support you should see instead: Brcmfmac Driver Apple Firmware Setup Guide!
