It is recognized and package b43-fwcutter is installed. I also can see in dmesg message to use install_bcm43xx_firmware. OK, but if I do not do it and go directly to YaST > Network devices, the wi-fi card looks configured and working (it uses driver ssb), but it does not work. After installation, I'd expect (1) it works (the system would automatically perform the operation with download of the firmware), or (2) it does not work and system cries the driver is missing and tells me in user-friendly way what is missing and what to do (something like it is done in Ubuntu). Now, it looks like it works, but id does not. And it is bad.
