What do you mean by "no joy"?
Installing that rpm should have also installed akmod-wl and should then have a
/var/cache/akmods/akmods.log created that would have something
like this at the end...

resulting in

kmod-wl-4.18.7-200.fc28.x86_64-6.30.223.271-18.fc28.x86_64
akmod-wl-6.30.223.271-18.fc28.x86_64
packages being installed. And then, probably, needed a reboot to have the
drivers
loaded.
If the module isn't available, you can run "akmods" to see what's
happening. Instead of rebooting, you can just run "modprobe wl" to get
it loaded. The laptop is described as ancient, so this might not apply,
but for recent laptops, if secure boot is enabled, you can't load a
module you built yourself unless you disable secure boot. If you can't
disable it (or don't want to), then you need to sign the module and add
the key to the system.
