Cannot find wifi, dual boot Fedora 23 running on MacBook Pro (13-inch, Early 2011)
I just installed Fedora 23 with dual boot on my MacBookPro early 2011, every runs like it's supposed to except the wifi. The only way I can have internet is with Ethernet cable or if I use a network adapter... I want to be able to go online without the cable or the adapter.

Thank you for responding to me, but I still haven't solved my issue. I went in to the terminal and when I typed lspci | grep -i wireless , nothing showed up , but when I just used lspci I got a long list of information, out of that list , I think the Network controller is responsible for the WiFi not functioning
Network controller : Broadcom Corporation BCM4331 801.11a/a/b/g/n (rev 02 )
Just now I realized that I never used this "Wi-Fi wireless networking2 (based on IEEE 802.11n specification); IEEE 802.11a/b/g compatible"
Maybe that's why the lspci | grep -i wireless didn't show anything, if that is the case, I'm gonna be pissed at myself...
