Wifi networks not available with Broadcom BCM4360

[artandmath]

Hi - Wifi networks are not showing on a Mac mini. Have had to do workarounds in some Linux on Minis to load Broadcom divers and other linux variants they work out of the box, but I've been unable to resolve the issue with Lakka-LibreELEC. Looks like Lakka can see the wireless device with lspci -vnn | grep 14e4: but further to that something else seems to be going on as wifi networks aren't seen. Apologies if this is not the right place to ask the question.

• Which version of Lakka are you using?
  Lakka (official): 5.0 (Generic.x86_64)

• What system hardware are you using?
  Macmini7,1 (2.6 GHz Core i5)

• What did you do?
  Fresh install, navigate to wifi networks in the graphical UI.

• What did you expect to happen?
  Connect to wifi

• What happened instead?
  No wifi networks available

Terminal outputs:

Same Issue with Broadcom BCM4315

[webpat]

here are my dmsg entries regarding the Broadcom wireless card:

my WLAN card is a DW1397, the driver should be a Broadcom BCM4312
