I got tired of the Broadcom card.  It just acts strangely.  It takes a long time to get the wifi connection.  A new connection fails the first time (a real pain recently in my travels) and the connection tends to bounce.

So I pulled the RTL 802.11/a/b/n card for that hanger queen and am up and running on it.

How do I remove the Broadcom cruft.  I suspect it is more than just:

dnf erase broadcom-wl

and remove the

/etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/99-my.conf

Can I 'un-taint' the kernel I am currently running or do I have to wait for the next kernel update and not have the broadcom stuff installed?

thanks

Well, if the rtl card connects fine and the broadcom with the same configuration doesn't
then it is unlikely to be a configuration issue.

The response to the bug worked:

Try telling NetworkManager not to change the MAC address via /etc/NetworkManager/conf.d/99-my.conf

[device]
wifi.scan-rand-mac-address=no

There goes my MAC privacy!  We did a lot in IEEE 802 to add this privacy recommendation.
