    Please temporarily turn off Secure Boot and try again. Possibly helpful: https://github.com/umlaeute/v4l2loopback/issues/394 – chili555 Feb 09 '23 at 00:02

FIXED: As stated by chili555 disabling the secure boot from the BIOS fixed the problem. I have wifi now. I have no idea why secure boot would interfere with broadcom drivers but thank you chili555.
