Hey folks,
First time using bazzite/fedora distros, I’ve been using debian based distros for the last years.
Problem
After finishing the initial setup and restarting the system following the update, my Wi-Fi adapter stopped listing available networks. However, if I run a manual scan via the CLI using iw dev wlp4s0 scan | grep -E "SSID|freq", the adapter starts showing networks again, but it’s still unable to connect to them.
I’m using:
- Linux ditro:
Linux bazzite 6.17.7-ba20.fc43.x86_64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Mon Dec 8 23:40:18 UTC 2025 x86_64 GNU/Linux - nmcli output
wlp4s0: disconnected
“Broadcom and subsidiaries BCM4360”
wifi (wl), D6:91:F3:A3:36:E4, hw, mtu 1500 - lspci output
04:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries BCM4360 802.11ac Dual Band Wireless Network
Adapter [14e4:43a0] (rev 03)
Subsystem: Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries Device [14e4:0619]
Kernel driver in use: wl
Kernel modules: wl, bcma
And the nmcli output after manual scan too:
wlp4s0: connecting (configuring) to MY_NETWORK
“Broadcom and subsidiaries BCM4360”
wifi (wl), 4A:EC:0C:AC:D5:7E, hw, mtu 1500
I would like to know if there is anything else I can do. Thank you for any help you can provide.
