And Broadcom Wireless Cards for Fedora 36 needs Proprietary Software (called “Firmware”) that Runs on the Wireless Chip itself to Work Properly.

Especially relevant: in case for a more sustainable Alternative See the broadcom-wl-dkms Fedora Setup.

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