Actually, I misspoke. The 43225 will work with bcma and b43 in kernel 3.2, but not in 3.0. You will probably need to use brcmsmac until openSUSE 12.2 or use a newer kernel. The Broadcom driver does not need bcma. They have their bus driver built into the PHY and radio driver. Driver b43 is designed to work with many different kinds of internal buses and uses bcma or bcma to accomplish that part of the driver.

Thanks, it could do the trick. It seems to be working consistently now
with just brcmsmac loaded. I'm not sure if the problems I had at first
were driver/module related or due to Networkmanager problems. We'll see
I guess, I'll test again after the next kernel update in factory.
