Hello folks!
I´m just trying to find out how to get my Broadcom-WLAN on my Asus A2D Laptop
working. As this is the first version with the bcm43xxx-module integrated in
the kernel I have no experience in setting up wireless networks on Linux. So
I asume I´m doing something wrong.
What I did:
I updated today from a fresh beta2 to RC1 from a local directory (yum-repo).
I tried to setup the card in yast:
-I choosed the networkmanager-method.
-e.g I chosed : "start at boot" instead of "start when cable is plugged in"
which was the original state after installation.
then I tried to start the connection via Knetwormanager-applet.
From the other OS I know :
Authentfication:open
key: WEP
Result: The statusbar grows up to 28% (Status Gerätekonfiguration) and then
stagnates.
What can I do? / What is the prefered Way to do this ?
I would really be happy if I can get some help to get this working

Following:
some of the output of dmesg:
first part bootprocess, last part one try with knetworkmanager I think.
