Using another machine, I went to:

I downloaded the
b43-fwcutter-019-10.fc27.x86_64.rpm
but it does not contain the firmware.
The broadcom website https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/drivers/brcm80211
claims to support bcm4322X (where X is 4, 5, 7 ....etc).
And from URL
https://kernel.googlesource.com/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/firmware/linux-firmware.git/+/7f93c9deb484c0a8f4cf59780e77dc7b0c14abe3
I downloaded
brcm/brcmfmac4373-sdio.bin
brcm/brcmfmac4373.bin
so I guess, I have to put those firmware files in /lib/firmware.
But I am just not sure if this will let the OS find my wifi.
If anyone has this legacy broadcom wifi chip (BCM4322) and got it running,
please help.

Description:
This package contains the license, README.txt and configuration
files for the Broadcom 802.11 Linux STA Driver for WiFi, a Linux
device driver for use with Broadcom's BCM4311-, BCM4312-, BCM4313-,
BCM4321-, BCM4322-, BCM43142-, BCM43224-, BCM43225-, BCM43227-,
BCM43228-, BCM4331-, BCM4360 and -BCM4352- based hardware.
FWIW I had a similar sudden loss of wifi last year with an old Broadcom-
equipped HP laptop running kubuntu. No firmware load. Still not
solved, but at the time it would connect when running an SL7 live DVD.
