Logfile created by akmods after a "sudo akmods --force"

I recently upgraded my Fedora 35 to Fedora 36 Beta with the new 5.17 kernel and I noticed that my wifi wouldn't work anymore.

As I have a Broadcom BCM43142 chipset, I have to install the proprietary drivers to make it work.

I installed the akmod-wl package made for Fedora Rawhide, as no official F36 package is available as of yet.
After trying to manually build it with akmods, it failed (logfile in attachments of this ticket).

Similarly, I found this post (https://www.reddit.com/r/Fedora/comments/t809oc/broadcomwl_from_rpmfusion_on_f36_kernel_517/) that mentions that the Broadcom-wl package has to be patched because of some changes on the new kernel.

My hardware is :

I made this bug report last yesterday but posted it today to be sure I was not doing anything wrong that was only on my machine.
Of course, I just now noticed the bug report that was resolved during the week-end.

Sorry for the inconvenience.
