I hate to think what would have happened, had I been a newbie trying linux for the first time. The problem is well known btw, as the 18700 google hits on "suse 10.2 bcm43xx firmware" testify. Among those a substantial amount consists of newbies being left stranded in the desert.
The card does not run under knetworkmanager, but what else is new?
There is of course no reason why you could not have continued to use ndiswrapper. With Ndiswrapper you also had to supply firmware (in the form of windows drivers). So you had already crossed this bridge once before, (apparently successfully) at a time when you were more of a newbie than you are today. I think you underestimate newbies. -- _____________________________________ John Andersen -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
