@Guillaume : have you always had this problem since installation or upgrade ? Or has it arisen after a kernel update ? --- Thank you Thomas & Martin for looking at this. This looks like tmb's territory, so excuse me for assigning this to you. Please re-assign it if you see fit.

We need kernel logs to see what happends when it tries to join a network at channel 12 or 13

Can you teach me? I have to try to connect wifi with command in terminal, because net_applet in graphic mod doesn't see my internet box when it switch on channel 12 & 13.
In a terminal, as root run journalctl -f | tee journal.log Then in another terminal try to connect. You should see system log messages being echoed in the first terminal. Once the attempt to connect has failed, type Ctrl-C in the first terminal to terminate journalctl. The log messages will have been saved in the journal.log file, which you can attach to this bug report.
Hi, this what i've done: I have disconnet wifi and shutdown net_applet. I move my internet box on channel 13. Then i ran wifi with the command: wpa_supplicant -D wext -i wlp2s0 -c /etc/wpa_supplicant.conf & dhclient wlp2s0 All log are in "jounal.log" Then i have ran net_applet and i move my internet box on channel 2 and my computer connected to it. All log are in "journal-2.log" Do you have enough data for work?

Just for your intend, kernel 5.4.6 doesn't solve the problem.
the log for channel 13 is not correct, it has no info what so ever about the wifi... anyway, I have pushed a broadcom-wl-6.30.223.271-55.mga7 to nonfree updates_testing with various fixes from debian. Cn you try and see if that works any better ?
wich one will should be install in first? broadcom-wl-common-6.30.223.271-55.mga7.nonfree.x86_64.rpm ? or dkms-broadcom-wl-6.30.223.271-55.mga7.nonfree.x86_64.rpm ? is there order of installation? Thank you
install both
So, broadcom-wl-common-6.30.223.271-55.mga7.nonfree.x86_64.rpm & dkms-broadcom-wl-6.30.223.271-55.mga7.nonfree.x86_64.rpm don't change anything. Wi-Fi doesn't connect to Chanel 12 & 13...
Ok, so for now I suggest you dont use channel 12 & 13... I'm not sure we will be able to fix it as the broadcom wl driver is a closed source driver that broadcom stopped supporting in 2015, and we cant fix the binary-only bits... but you also wrote you tried the free driver too, and it does not work either. can you provide more info and logs about that ? also the output of lspcidrake -v
Thank you for your response and your help. But I don't want to try to reinstall free driver. The computer is not my computer and i can't access it when i want. I don't want to broke wifi connexion. I'll follow your suggestion and don't use channel 12 & 13.
The computer is out of order now. So i closed that report. All along life computer, i used wifi on channerl under channel 12 & 13
