Mac Book Air: Installing the Broadcom BCM4360 - 14E4:43A0 module on Fedora

Firstly confirm you have the appropriate hardware version (there are two for the BCM4360!)

lspci -vnn | grep Net

The 'wl' module only supports the '14e4:43a0' version.

The RPM fusion repository have kindly already packaged it up for us - so let's firstly add the repo:

sudo dnf install -y https://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-26.noarch.rpm https://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-26.noarch.rpm

sudo dnf install -y broadcom-wl kernel-devel
sudo akmods --force --kernel `uname -r` --akmod wl
sudo modprobe -a wl
