Was using ifup/ifdown. Either way, works without a glitch using ndiswrapper.

I can now do a iwlist eth1 scan and see my AP. I will do more testing this evening.

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?

Re: [opensuse] broadcom drivers
I have a laptop that uses a Broadcom chipset. Has 10.3 on it. Tried the bcm43xx driver. Ran into some annoying little trouble with disabling/enabling the wireless, card not associating with an AP or getting an IP occasionally . Tossed it and restarted using ndiswrapper and the Win driver.

Re: [opensuse] broadcom drivers
I have bought a Lenovo 3000 C200 and same trobles that described by you and Gary with 10.3 Finally I downloaded the library wl_apsta-3.130.20.0.o and use fwcutter with it for obtain the firmare, copy to the firmare directory and succesfully working the wireless adapter with only a trouble: you can disable it, but for enable again must reboot the laptop. The page with address page for downloading the library is on opensuse site, search for bcm and must find it.

Could someone confirm. > I have just installed 10.3 on a DV95xx as well, and even if the kernel detects and loads the driver bcm43xx, it is missing the firmware update, which is non-oss. I have the Win drivers, but the fwcutter refuses to support the driver I have. I have also downloaded the most recent drivers from the HP web site and it fails as well. My next step (tonight) is to download the latest frcutter and try that. Anyone else with suggestions?

[opensuse] broadcom drivers
hi folks, I have installed openSUSE 10.0 on an HP nx98500--- mostly working great with the exception of keyboard (see off-topic list) and the broadcom wifi chipset no working. I have heard that openSUSE 10.3 has the appropriate kernel and broadcom drivers (BCM43xx) for the HP nx9500. Could someone confirm. 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? It has been a long time since I have seen the boxed set on BestBuy, etc. Is 10.4 around the corner soon?
