the wl driver work fine.
My question is: There is an official Fedora driver (embedded, akmod or
kmod) for this (bcp43142) wireless network card?
Review request: wl-bcm43142-kmod - X86_64 Kernel module for Broadcom
wireless devices BCM43142
it match , is waiting for review in meantime you may test it .
