I got tired of the Broadcom card. It just acts strangely. It takes a
long time to get the wifi connection. A new connection fails the first
time (a real pain recently in my travels) and the connection tends to
bounce.
So I pulled the RTL 802.11/a/b/n card for that hanger queen and am up
and running on it.
How do I remove the Broadcom cruft. I suspect it is more than just:
dnf erase broadcom-wl
and remove the
/etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/99-my.conf
Can I 'un-taint' the kernel I am currently running or do I have to wait
for the next kernel update and not have the broadcom stuff installed?
thanks

I am hoping it is a config problem. If not I have an rtl card that is
in an x120e 'hanger queen' that I can use instead.
Well, if the rtl card connects fine and the broadcom with the same
configuration doesn't
then it is unlikely to be a configuration issue.
The response to the bug worked:
Try telling NetworkManager not to change the MAC address via
/etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/99-my.conf
[device]
wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no
There goes my MAC privacy! We did a lot in IEEE 802 to add this
privacy recommendation.
