Yes, wifi is correct and works perfectly on two other Fedora laptops and my phone.

Before I installed broadcom-wl and disabled secure boot, WiFi did not work at all by the way. It was installed following this: https://gist.github.com/markcaudill/c161b4d30f7f7ffdabbe

Nothing particularly interesting in dmesg:

Since only proprietary driver exists for this card, should I even bother
debugging (how?) or is all hope lost? Wifi is super slow (100KB) and
drops constantly.
Can you verify that the thing is connected to the correct wifi network,
on an uncluttered channel? Are you certain you don't have a different
Broadcom driver (e.g. b43 or bcma) loaded that might conflict?
