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.

Thank you muchisimo.
Does the machine have to be connected to the internet in order to
install the rpm package?
I ask because I recall an incident where the attempt to install an rpm
on a not yet working internet,
(I had downloaded the rpm on another machine and copied it to a thumb
drive, and connected
te thumb drive to the off-line machine). The dnf command exited with
error that it could not connect
to some server ....
Sorry, I do not recall everything exactly but the machine in question
belongs to a friend.
I will try to install the rpm package sometime today, and get back to you.
