I have heard that openSUSE 10.3 has the appropriate kernel and broadcom drivers (BCM43xx) for the HP nx9500. 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? It has been a long time since I have seen the boxed set on BestBuy, etc. Just have a look around. Is 10.4 around the corner soon? Next realease is 11.0. There will be no 10.4 release as far as I know. -- Gökşin Akdeniz http://www.enixma.org http://www.linuxnet.com.tr FEDORA TURKIYE MAIL LISTESI http://groups.google.com.tr/group/fedora-turkey signature.asc Description: This is a digitally signed message part.

I have the DV9502 from HP and the instructions for the broadcom card on linuxwireless.org worked to perfection. I can now do a iwlist eth1 scan and see my AP. I will do more testing this evening.

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?

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.
