Hello there
Earlier this afternoon I updated my iMac. Looks like there was a kernel update on Fedora 35 (from 5.16 to 5.17), so I upgraded without any other consideration. After a reboot, wifi was simply broken, and you know it is quite complicated to put it to work from the ground up, so I tried to do it all over again, nothing worked.
So, using lspci -k:
04:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries BCM4321 802.11a/b/g/n (rev 03)
Subsystem: Apple Inc. AirPort Extreme
Kernel modules: ssb
Then, sudo dnf info broadcom-wl

Finally, the curious thing came after iwconfig:
lo no wireless extensions.
ens5 no wireless extensions.
I use my iMac away from the router and any other wired connection, so puting the Wifi (and bluetooth) to work is quite important.
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance
