Installing Wifi Drivers – BCM4360 For Fedora/RHEL/CentOS

In this video I’m showing how to fix wifi for Broadcom drivers

First lets check what Broadcom driver we have with the following command

Broadcom Limited BCM4360

As you can see BCM4360 is my Required driver.

1. First We need to get Rpm Fusion, both free and non-free versions.
2. I downloaded both free and nonfree rpm version now we need to install it
2.1 We can install it with rpm -ivh filename.rpm
Make sure you are in root for doing this, or else you will end up by getting a error message saying permission denied

Since I have the package already installed, it shows that it is already installed. For you, it should download few dependencies and packaged and then install.

Same goes for non-free version

2.2 Just check if everything is installed, if not fix dependencies.

3. Now we need to download kernel-headers and kernel-devel for compiling the drivers

4. I have my kernel running on 4.9.10-200.fc25.x86_64
and i have both kernel-headers and kernel-devel on my machine, it should download for you and install

yum install kernel-headers
yum install kernel-devel
5. Now we are half way done, Download the broadcom-wl from internet – Check the appropriate file to donwload for your version mine is BCM4360

6. Search for your Operating System – mine is fedora 25
make sure you have the right architecture, i386 is 32-bit and x86_64 is for 64-bit architectures
7. Install the above with rpm -ivh filename.rpm

I have it already installed, so for you, it should download and install.
8. Now after it, install akmods – dnf install akmods or yum install akmods
Again, for me its installed, for you it should download and install.
9. run akmods
It should say as – OK, if not, you have done something wrong.
10. Now here is the final step
sudo modprobe wl – it should not return any errors

After that, just restart your system, and you should have your wifi back
