Fedora 27 how to install broadcom wifi driver

If you would like to fedora workstation in your pc and if it does have broadcom wifi modul then it will be not recognized and installed by distro itself. Therefore driver should be installed manually. Lets see how,

First of all check hardware if its exposed

enter below command in terminal
@localhost ~]$ lspci -k

Broadcom device is seen as pci device  (Below screenshot shows wl kernel module is in use which means wifi module is loaded since i took this screenshot after wifi driver installation is done.)




























dSince broadcom  driver is not part of the free repo, RPM Fusion repository needs to be registered. RPM Fusion is repository where the packages that fedora does not want to ship is provided.

Below command registers free repository
@localhost ~]$ sudo dnf install https://download1.rpmfusion.org/free/fedora/rpmfusion-free-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm

 Below command registers non-free repository
@localhost ~]$ sudo dnf install https://download1.rpmfusion.org/nonfree/fedora/rpmfusion-nonfree-release-$(rpm -E %fedora).noarch.rpm

 enter below commands

@localhost ~]$  sudo dnf update

 @localhost ~]$ $ sudo dnf install akmod-wl

Now reboot your pc and wifi will be run.
