After the upgrade with F35, I got some errors on wifi.
Now I saw the adapter is not shown but is listed on hardware.
If I press the wifi button then start the airplane mode and is set to on.
How can be fixed?

F35 is unreleased. This should be posted on the Test list.

Are you using the Broadcom drivers from rpmFusion? If so, did they get upgraded as well?

On Facebook it is called Vaguebooking.
1. Yes, I upgrade Fedora from version 34.
2. I install the Free and Nonfree repos to test another way to install the wifi device.
3. I try to see if the wl module is working and no:
modprobe wl
modprobe: FATAL: Module wl not found in directory /lib/modules/5.14.12-300.fc35.x86_64
I think is a problem with interface wlan0, not sure this is from the Fedora update versus
HP laptop special wifi key or is a bug...
Any idea how can fix it?

How did you install the broadcom drivers from rpmfusion?
These drivers are like the nvidia drivers. For each kernel the modules need to be built
by akmod-wl.
1. Have you rebooted your system?
2. Do you have a file called /var/cache/akmods/akmods.log?
