Hi

my Compaq nx6125 laptop doesn't get an IP address via dhcp anymore.
With openSUSE 10.2 and SLED 10 it's working without any problems using
"ndiswrapper".
With openSUSE 10.3 neither "bcm43xx" nor "ndiswrapper" is working. I know, that
there is no support for "ndiswrapper" so I opened this bug in combination with
the bcm43xx kernel driver. I tried it with and without the network manager.


I'm using following firmware residing under /lib/firmware

MyLaptop:/tmp # /usr/bin/bcm43xx-fwcutter  -i bcmwl564.sys_3.100.64.10
