For starters, if you look at the list I generated on 1/15 you'd see there is a single occurrence of akmod-wl and you've listed 2. That same list I gave on 1/15 does not contain kmod-wl while yours does. You really need to pay attention to what you're doing. The best thing you can do is follow precise instructions.... Those instructions are in another email of 1/5 and are... On a system with a functional internet connection you can find out what packages are needed to install the broadcom-wl package from RPMfusion in one of 2 ways. Way One 1. In a Virtual Machine boot the Live-OS of the spin installed on the laptop. 2. Install the RPMfusion repos to the Live-OS. 3. Issue the command dnf --downloadonly --downloaddir=/tmp install broadcom-wl 4. Transfer the downloaded rpm file to external media 5. Make sure that "kernel" packages downloaded match the kernel version on the laptop and if not download those from koji. Way Two 1. Do the exact same as above but after installing the Live-OS in a VM Way Three 1. Boot the Live-OS on bare metal and do the same as above -- A motto of mine is: When in doubt, try it out
