Hi Goran,

I would say you need the broadcom wl driver.

Do a search for e.g.:
broadcom wl fedora 21

Hi Goran,

As I'm not on fedora I will not be to much help unfortunately. Try any
fedora forum!

What I consider to be the definitive source, 
https://wireless.wiki.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43, says that only Broadcom's 
proprietary driver wl is available for that device. You can get that at 
https://www.broadcom.com/support/802.11/linux_sta.php. Of course, you will need 
to build it for your system. If you need help building an out-of-kernel module, 
the best place for help with that is your distro's forum.
