This driver works only if the firmware is present. The package b43-fwcutter is automatically installed (via the modalias), the script /usr/sbin/install_bcm43xx_firmware exists, and works. but when yast configures the card it does not call the download script first. As a result, there is no firmware for the card. Maybe there could be a check like if ( driver == b43 | driver == b43legacy) && test ! -d /lib/firmware/b43 then /usr/sbin/install_bcm43xx_firmware fi configure_wlan(b43) -- Configure bugmail: http://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
