Could someone confirm. I had a Compaq Presario F500 laptop with broadcom wireless network card. OpenSUSE 10.3 has 2.6.22 kernel which has modules for broadcom nwtwork cards. You also need the proper firmware for the nic. I run bcmxx_fimware_cutter which extracts the broadcom firmware for cards. All you have to do is intall bcmxx_fimware_cutter package with yast and run "bcmxx_firmware_cutter" as root from cli. After the firmware installed you can configure broadcom nic via YAST. It worked for me. > Also, I would like to purchase the boxed set of 10.3 (if that is still an > option) --is this only available on-line these days?

There will be no 10.4 release as far as I know. -- Gökşin Akdeniz
