Ok thanks for answer

Now I'm stll unable to connect by wi-fi; I'm using knetworkManager instead of 
ndiswrapper and after install firmware files with install_bcm43xx_firmware

KwiFiManager tells he is conected with router but he is unable to detect an 
acces point (IP locale)

A strange thing is that in yast->network-parameters->config-wlan0->hardware 
kernel module is ssb instead of bcm43xx as with suse10.2
And command dhcpcd eth0 gives:

err, wlan0: timed out
warn, wlan0: using IPV4ALL address 169.254.57.89

And connection with internet is not possible

Any suggestion?
Thank you in advance
Michel
