Fedora Linux 27 Broadcom wifi not working

edit

Hi,

I was using Fedora Linux 26 running on a Lenovo Z370 laptop. Initially the wifi was working well, but suddenly, the wifi hardware was disabled. I was unable to enable it despite trying few suggestions from the Internet. Desperately tried to solve the issue, I upgraded it to Fedora LInux 27 but wifi hardware still disabled.

Below are some of the information to share. Hopefully someone can offer some advise how to resolve it.

Thank you for your help and appreciate any advice.
