MacBook 11,1 - WiFi driver broken after update

Installing the broadcom-wl, akmod-wl packages and then running the above commands again fixed it for me.

[user@host ~]$ rpm -q -a akmod-wl kmod-wl\*
akmod-wl-6.30.223.271-46.fc37.x86_64
kmod-wl-6.2.8-200.fc37.x86_64-6.30.223.271-46.fc37.x86_64
[user@host ~]$ rpm -V -a akmod-wl kmod-wl\*
[user@host ~]$ sudo rpm -q -l -a akmod-wl kmod-wl\*

After a reboot, I’ve got my WiFi interface back and running!

Thanks @vgaetera for the quick response!
