I have just install Fedora 44 Cosmic and updated to kernel 7 on a new to me MacBook Pro medio 2015 (a1398) with BCM4360 - output from lspci -vnn | grep -i broadcom

BCM4360 802.11ac Dual Band Wireless Network Adapter [14e4:43a0] (rev 03)

I have enabled RPM Fusion and installed broadcom-wl and blacklisted these drivers

blacklist bcm43xx
blacklist ssb
blacklist b43
blacklist ndiswrapper
blacklist brcm80211
blacklist bcma
blacklist brcmsmac

as descriped here: MacBook Pro (Late 2013) – Wi-Fi Driver Install Loop (BCM4360) & Tethering Issues - #4 by gnwiii

I can see my wifi network but it won’t connect to the wifi - it is just stuck on connecting.
any help is greatly appreciated.

My iMac 14,2 uses the same Broadcom wifi chip. I normally use ethernet, but just installed the broadcom-wl driver from rpmfusion-nonfree and it is working with kernel 7.0.8. I recommend using nmcli in a terminal so you can post pre-formatted web-discoverable text. See https://www.makeuseof.com/connect-to-wifi-with-nmcli/ for examples. You can also use journalctl --no-hostname -g wifi --no-pager to look for details if you encounter problems.

Are you dual booting with macOS? Is Apple firmware fully updated to the last supported version of macOS?

Thank you so much for the hint that helped a lot, and got it working :slight_smile:

I know this is off topic but did you have any problems to get firefox to use hardware acceleration, if so how did you solve it?
I have tried to install different codes with no luck.
