Broadcom-wl-dkms Installation in Fedora 38 – Step-by-step

GNU/Linux Fedora 38 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 38 GNU/Linux.

And Broadcom Wireless Cards for Fedora 38 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 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!
