When upgrading to Fedora 40 the Broadcom wl module failed to load. The fix from Broadcom wl module fails to load after upgrade to Fedora 38 worked, but I’m guessing the intended behavior is for the the module to build and load automatically after the upgrade. Is this worth filing a bug report for?
Note, I’m about to upgrade to F41 so I can gather needed info for the bug report prior to that upgrade.
Is the broadcom-wl package installed from rpmfusion? Please show us the output of dnf list --installed broadcom-wl
If it is and you fail to wait at least 5 minutes after an update before rebooting it seems likely that the build of the module may have been interrupted. Rebuilding it can be done with sudo akmods --force --rebuild
Problems after upgrades with modules for WiFi, bluetooth, ethernet, and sound are not unusual, so I find it important to have USB dongles that are well supported with linux kernel drivers to use while waiting for issues with out-of-kernel drivers to be fixed.
broadcom-wl contains support files.
There are build logs in /var/log/akmods. Here is what you see after recovering from a failed build:

Yes, it is.
$ dnf list --installed broadcom-wl

That could be the problem. I thought the akmods were built on boot (which I believe is how DKMS does it), so it wouldn’t have occurred to me to wait before rebooting.
I don’t see anything that looks like an error in /var/log/akmods/akmods.log:

Error in POSTIN scriptlet in rpm package kmod-wl-6.12.4-100.fc40.x86_64
```dThe wl driver received a patch a couple of days ago in order to work with kernel 6.12.
Is sudo dnf upgrade --refresh proposing an update for broadcom-wl or akmod-wl packages? If yes, then run the upgrade, and wait for the driver modules to be built. You can check afterwards the output of dnf list installed kmod-wl. It should also present the package kmod-wl-6.12.4-100.fc40.x86_64, and WiFi should be working.
The latest version of the wl kernel module from rpmfusion is version 6.30.223.271 which @jhaiduce is already installing.
See https://koji.rpmfusion.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=424
This could be significant. In var/cache/dnf you will also find the rpm file and you could try to re-install that rpm.
Use rpm -qp --scripts <rpmfile> to see the scripts. I wonder if the POSTIN script does something that isn’t supported on F40.
For F41 I get:
% rpm -qp --scripts /var/cache/akmods/wl/kmod-wl-6.12.4-200.fc41.x86_64-6.30.223.271-54.fc41.x86_64.rpm

The script got signal 15 aka SIGTERM, which is the polite signal for terminating a process. The impolite signal is signal 9 aka SIGKILL.

The depmod command in the script can take quite a while.
I get the following:
$ rpm -qp --scripts /var/cache/akmods/wl/kmod-wl-6.11.9-100.fc39.x86_64-6.30.223.271-53.fc39.x86_64.rpm

Nothing there that looks like an error, but I’ve had a successful installation since the failure so maybe the output containing the error message was deleted then?
That is because your are seeing the script that generated an error. Non-reproducible errors tend to be flaky hardware. You might want to run Fedora memtest86+ overnight.
