too bad! I just tried to get wlan0 (Broadcom 4352 WLAN core revision 42) to work, but it fails on both kernels I have here on my openSUSE_Leap_42.1 system: kernel-default-4.1.38-47.1 kernel-default-4.9.11-1.1 dmesg says this: [ 4.814315] b43-phy0: Broadcom 4352 WLAN found (core revision 42) [ 4.814698] b43-phy0 ERROR: FOUND UNSUPPORTED PHY (Analog 12, Type 11 (AC), Revision 1) [ 4.815499] b43: probe of bcma0:1 failed with error -95 [ 4.815524] Broadcom 43xx driver loaded [ Features: PNLS ] Neither NetworkManager nor wicked can see any related device; this means networking is no longer possible for a wide range of devices (from Dell and ASrock and possibly many others). Do we have a backup of the former driver which worked properly, at least for me. Thx, cheers. l8er manfred
