It works in all kernels since 2006ish, and in Fedora 10, opensuse 11.1 is actually the only distro where it doesn't so something is clearly wrong -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.

Neither b43 nor b43_legacy exist on my system, is there a package I need to install?
No, they should be part of the kernel-* package.
I tried both of those when it first wasn't working (after installing the firmware). Are modules in some special path that modprobe doesn't know to look in? I don't know that would be, but I also don't know why /sbin isn't in your $PATH by default, so you never know.
Could you please attach the output of "strace modprobe b43"? -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
