Using dnf -y install broadcom0wl-6.30.223.271-3.fc27.noarch.rpm
I get the error message:
Error: Failed to synchronize cache for repo 'updates'
This is normally a temporary condition that clears up on a second run. And/or after
a "clean metadata".
well, I do not know when it will clear up, because the package is not
installed.
At any rate, I obtained a fresh thumb drive which does not corrupt the
files I copy to it
and transport to the new machine.
So, this is what I am getting:

So, it seems that I am up against a situation that cannot be solved
unless I somehow
connect the new machine to the internet. And that would be via the
ethernet port.
I have no internet at home. I am trying to solve this problem using
public wifi, copying
the rpms to thumb drive, and going to the new machine and try to install
them.
I am disappointed that f27 is released without support for brcm wifi and
perhaps even ethernet
chipsets. But this is the situation with "non-free".
