I have and old macbook pro 2018 i7 32G RAM that I installed fedora 44 without issues. However, two things that I lost are wifi and keyboard. I am using wireless keyboard and mouse. How do I fix these wifi & keyboard issues pse? I have connected to internet using a usc-c to Ethernet adapter and updates are up to date.

Thanks in advance.

Have you seen: https://linhpham.org/blog/2026/installing-using-fedora-apple-macbooks-with-t2/? Your issues match the list of known Fedora issues on Apple. T2 hardware. Note that you may need to save firmware from macOS.

You can try an alternative driver from RPM Fusion:

sudo dnf install broadcom-wl
echo blacklist brcmfmac | sudo tee /etc/modprobe.d/broadcom.conf > /dev/null
echo wl | sudo tee /etc/modules-load.d/broadcom.conf > /dev/null
watch tail /var/cache/akmods/wl/.last.log
sudo systemctl reboot
