How can I install an akmod?
So I have an BCM4352 Wi-Fi card on my desktop but it doesn't work out of box on linux so I need to install broadcom-wl in order to get it working.
I was able to use this guide "https://www.reddit.com/r/Fedora/comments/vsmr7u/how_to_install_broadcom_bcm4352_driver_on_fedora/?rdt=34109" to get it working on an base Fedora Kinoite build but after doing the same stuff on Bazzite-deck it can't find the akmod-wl package on rpm-ostree. How can I install that package on bazzite since it is the solution to get my Wi-Fi working.

so i tried ti use the broadcom option in "ujust" to enable the adaptor from there but it still didn't work and i also cant find the other akmods for my ac600 usb wifi card so i cant even use that on my system
so i am trying to do some stuff using akmods but i am getting this error?
sudo '/var/home/aphextwink/Downloads/akmods-main/build-prep.sh'
++ rpm -E %fedora
+ RELEASE=40
+ sed -i s@enabled=1@enabled=0@g /etc/yum.repos.d/fedora-cisco-openh264.repo
+ mkdir -p /var/lib/alternatives

Akmods need to be built AOT
Best thing you can do is PR this to ublue-os/akmods under the extra repo
And then install it in your own fork or image FROM
what do you mean by AOT im new to fedora kinoite stuff so i really dont know what to do now
is there a guide i can follow or something else to learn how to built it?
ahead of time
well i guess i made some new discoveries
so even on a fresh installation of bazzite-deck my wifi card is apparently detected but wpa_supplicant keeps spamming "wpa_supplicant[5309]: wlp6s0: CTRL-EVENT-SCAN-FAILED ret=-22" in journalctl
so for some reason this makes it doesn't work
is there a way for me to downgrade that package since this started to happen after i updated my system
this is also happening on an normal fedora installation after installing the akmod as well so i think that its caused by wpa_supplicant
