Need driver for BCM43602 802.11ac Wireless LAN SoC

I have a wifi adapter that works fine on my linux install, and here is information from that:

06:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries BCM43602 802.11ac Wireless LAN SoC [14e4:43ba] (rev 01)

*-network

   description: Wireless interface

   product: BCM43602 802.11ac Wireless LAN SoC

   vendor: Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries

06:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Inc. and subsidiaries BCM43602 802.11ac Wireless LAN SoC [14e4:43ba] (rev 01)

Subsystem: Apple Inc. BCM43602 802.11ac Wireless LAN SoC [106b:0133]

Kernel driver in use: brcmfmac

Now inside of windows 11:

Windows fails to download the correct driver for it. It is in device manager, listed as an unusable network interface.

I need the actual driver for BCM43602, and I have already searched for it and could not find it. I tried keeping win11 updated, searching the internet for drivers, reinstalling win11, and running the network troubleshooter.

If needed I can provide the information from device manager that it lists from the device.

This leaves me with no internet connection inside of the windows operating system, which makes my workspace useless, unless I have a working ethernet port in the workstation's room. I do not have ethernet in my college dorm, which is not ideal. I have certain products that only work in this operating system, such as premier pro, which I an unable to use once I am at college (I am on winter break right now). Please find this driver, it is the only thing I need in this situation, as there is wifi but not ethernet in the dorm.

Best of luck

    I still need help with this. My PC has a unique build so I may need to provide more system information to help fix the problem. Anyone that can help, I would appreciate it very much.
