What do you mean by "no joy"? Installing that rpm should have also installed akmod-wl and should then have a /var/cache/akmods/akmods.log created that would have something like this at the end... 2018/09/15 11:27:23 akmods: Checking kmods exist for 4.18.7-200.fc28.x86_64 2018/09/15 11:27:23 akmods: Building and installing wl-kmod 2018/09/15 11:27:23 akmods: Building RPM using the command '/sbin/akmodsbuild --target x86_64 --kernels 4.18.7-200.fc28.x86_64 /usr/src/akmods/wl-kmod.latest' 2018/09/15 11:27:51 akmods: Installing newly built rpms 2018/09/15 11:27:51 akmods: DNF detected 2018/09/15 11:28:13 akmods: Successful. resulting in [root@f28k-b1 wl]# rpm -qa | grep kmod-wl kmod-wl-4.18.7-200.fc28.x86_64-6.30.223.271-18.fc28.x86_64 akmod-wl-6.30.223.271-18.fc28.x86_64 packages being installed. And then, probably, needed a reboot to have the drivers loaded.
If the module isn't available, you can run "akmods" to see what's happening. Instead of rebooting, you can just run "modprobe wl" to get it loaded. The laptop is described as ancient, so this might not apply, but for recent laptops, if secure boot is enabled, you can't load a module you built yourself unless you disable secure boot. If you can't disable it (or don't want to), then you need to sign the module and add the key to the system.
