this looks potentionally helpful

it appears those are closed source drivers with funky licenses, so they
can't just be redistributed without assumption of liability.
Correct, elrepo isn't able to freely redistribute the drivers due
Broadcom's licensing, but does provide instructions and a SRPM (minus
tarball) for you to build yourself.
Alternatively, for $8 you can purchase an adaptor that is natively
supported and will work out of the box:

The above adaptor is based on the Realtek RTL8188CUS chipset and uses
the rtl8192cu kernel driver.
