Hello I don't think it is necessary to reinstall fedora-23. You may
change the sys-net and sys-firewall to fedora-25 (in qubes manager:
right click -> "change VMsettings" and then look for the dropdown menu
for templateVM) and the start them. If wireless should not be available
immediately, you will have to use ethernet : it is good to know that any
working template VM (fedora-X, debian-X) should bring up a sys-net that
allows at least ethernet. Then you can install the hardware firmware
needed (try 'sudo lspci' to find out the chipset you have, try 'sudo dnf
search chipset-keyword' ). Bernhard
