PCLinuxOS is the only one that does. L x Take my Dell Vostro 1400 for example - while my wifi card was recognized out of the box it didn't work. I had to run /usr/sbin/install_bcm43_firmware first, a skript which a Windows driver, extracts the firmware, loads the proper wrappers and modules, and voila: wireless worked. Martin
Exactly. It didn't work. You had to run /usr/sbin/install_bcm43_firmware first. How could anyone know about that without hours of searching? Did openSUSE tell you to do that or did you have to look it up yourself? How did you know to do that? Despite what I can read here and it has been very informative (I thank you all) opensuse is not ready for the laptop market. It may work, but that's not good enough.
