Sadly you’re between a rock and a hard place! Catalina dropped support for older 32bit drivers and Big Sur requires driver signing. The only way to fix this is to replace the AirPort board MacBook Air 11" Early 2015 AirPort/Bluetooth Board Replacement

I took the laptop to a local repair place and when they opened the laptop the wifi card was missing and the antennas were cut? They quoted me $400 to fix which is how much I paid for the laptop.
