Fedora does not provide or support proprietary modules. You will need to take this up with whomever you got the kmod-wl driver from.
updates that came this morning seem to have fixed the problem : - kernel-devel-4.2.6-301.fc23.x86_64 - kernel-modules-extra-4.2.6-301.fc23.x86_64 Therefor I close that bug report
oops, sorry, I reopened by mistake
