I did a few search for the driver, and I found this repo: GitHub - lwfinger/rtw89: Driver for Realtek 8852AE, an 802.11ax device
I did the following steps as the instruction says:
For Fedora : You can install them with the following command
sudo dnf install kernel-headers kernel-devel
sudo dnf group install “C Development Tools and Libraries”
git clone GitHub - lwfinger/rtw89: Driver for Realtek 8852AE, an 802.11ax device
cd rtw89
make
sudo make install
but at the “make” command I got this error:
[vu_@fedora ~]$ cd rtw89/
[vu_@fedora rtw89]$ make
make -C /lib/modules/6.0.7-301.fc37.x86_64/build M=/home/vu_/rtw89 modules
make[1]: *** /lib/modules/6.0.7-301.fc37.x86_64/build: No such file or directory. Stop.
make: *** [Makefile:86: all] Error 2
I also did a few search but still not figure out how to fix this :<

Make sure to disable Secure Boot in BIOS/EFI and then build the modules with DKMS:
sudo dnf install git dkms kernel-devel openssl
sudo git clone https://github.com/lwfinger/rtw89.git \
/usr/src/rtw89-git
sudo sed -e "/^MAKE/d;/^CLEAN/d
/^DEST_MODULE_LOCATION/s|/updates/|/extra|" \
/usr/src/rtw89-git/debian/rtw89-dkms.dkms \
| sudo tee /usr/src/rtw89-git/dkms.conf > /dev/null
sudo dkms add rtw89/git
sudo systemctl restart dkms.service
sudo tee /etc/modules-load.d/rtw89.conf << EOF > /dev/null
rtw_8852be
EOF
sudo systemctl restart systemd-modules-load.service

Hi, sorry for the delay, I just woke up an hour ago, after a “sudo dnf upgrade --refresh” (using ethernet) and a reboot the wifi somehow worked just fine, thank you for the help though

This got it working for me. When I ran these steps, I got an error, so I ran it a second time. Is this a problem ?
wifi works but there are errors in my dmesg:
