Hello someoneinsane,

In Fedora, start a terminal and.../sbin/lspci -nn | grep -i -e network -e ethernet
/sbin/lsusbOne or the other of those commands may (or may not) produce some useful information to decide if you need a driver or can use a built-in driver.

A guess says it's a broadcom chip. Which probably means you would need kmod-wl from rpm fusion.
