Just to add that there is a way to get WiFi working, but I'm not sure
about the redistribution license needed for the broadcom firmware (can
be checked) and that one isn't in the upstream linux-firmware package.
I have a .noarch rpm for it, but in the mean time, if you want to
test/use embedded wifi on your rpi3, be sure to do this (as root) :

curl --location
https://github.com/raspberrypi/firmware/raw/master/boot/bcm2710-rpi-3-b.dtb
> /boot/bcm2710-rpi-3-b.dtb

curl --location
https://github.com/RPi-Distro/firmware-nonfree/raw/54bab3d6a6d43239c71d26464e6e10e5067ffea7/brcm80211/brcm/brcmfmac43430-sdio.bin
> /usr/lib/firmware/brcm brcmfmac43430-stdio.bin

curl --location
https://github.com/RPi-Distro/firmware-nonfree/raw/54bab3d6a6d43239c71d26464e6e10e5067ffea7/brcm80211/brcm/brcmfmac43430-sdio.txt
> /usr/lib/firmware/brcm brcmfmac43430-stdio.txt

And reboot to ensure the dtb is initialized and kernel knows about the
hardware in place.

Enjoy
