No Wi-Fi Adapter Found when Installed Fedora 31 (BCM43142)


Hello everyone
I recently installed Fedora 31 on my HP machine and the installation went good and all but then I my machine cannot detect my wireless card (BCM43142) I tried sudo dnf update and sudo yum update and tried installing free and non-free rpmfusion repositories but none of that work. I tried installing the broadcom driver for BCM43142 but still didn't work. Can anyone help me? Really appreciating your help and support.
Also can anyone tell me how to use a makefile as well?
Thanks!!

Broadcom are gone now. IIRC, they were writing linux software for that 43142 back in 2008 while I was dealing with my own 4312 issues, so I guess it's an oldie. I don't see any firmware for your card in the kernel. There was a big firmware cleanout of 'all that old <expletive> nobody uses anymore' in 2015, iirc. Some of us (myself included) were still using some of that 'old <expletive>.

I'd search the threads for your card. Search your logs for firmware errors. If you find some, search the net for firmware. It's probably quickest.
