Summary: broadcom-wl fails to connect to wpa networks

Description rubyo 2019-05-11 22:28:50 CEST
when I configure a connection in gnome  networkmanager on fedora 30 I can see the list of the available networks but when I tray the connection it fails with an "fails to activate a network connection" message (the message is translated form my language version so probably doesn't corresponds to the real English message).

In fedora 28 I used the same driver and it could connect to the same wpa connection. In the network manager the connection is listed under the tab: "Broadcom and subsidiaries BCM4360" that looks correct. I can connect to the same nework using an external usb adapter.

Other data:
journalctl | grep  wl
