read through this ( https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/49590/wireless-driver-is-not-loaded-f20-wlp12s0/ ) tried this, no luck yum install kmod-wl-PAE.i686 tried this, did seem to run, no luck though... journalctl -u NetworkManager

not sure what else to try.

On my old Dell I remember using this driver with success. Fedora doesn't have it in their repo for philosophical reason but rpmfusion is good.

rpm fusion has tons of good stuff, they just need more publicity, it'll indirectly work well for fedora too
