There has been a lot of progress in the plasmoid so trying it is definitely worth it.
Yeah. Thanks. Only just got around to it. It works well with supported wirless chipsets. But it still doesn't work with broadcom. I tried to install one and ended up having to leave her with a cable. Did you go through the firmware extraction process ('/usr/sbin/install_b43_firmware')? Otherwise, did you try the broadcom-wl package from packman? This and graphic tablets still need attention I would say. Then opesuse would be a killer. Unless you pay for a wacom and even then it doesn't work.
The Samba with apparmor still doesn't work. Serious network users need networking That Works out of the box.
If I bought SLES would my problems be solved faster?
Cheers. L x I still have 11.1 on my dell vostro 1710. the standard wifi card is a broadcom

my versions of firmware and fw cutter in 11.1 /x86-64 are:
b43-firmware: 4.150.10.5-1.pm1.1 b43legacy-firmware: 3.130.20.0-1.pm1.1 b43-fwcutter 011.2.49
good luck, d.
My 4312 on 11.4 worked pretty much out of the box with b43-firmware etc., with the caveat that you have to add "pio=1 qos=0" to the b43 module options (found from the b43 web page).
