During installation and by yast there is no reaction. There is also nothing that tells the user the manfacturer and model of the wireless chip so one can start googling. The reason may be that hwinfo fails to detect this chip properly. Contrary to what all instructions say, hwinfo --wlan NEVER PRODUCES ANY OUTPUT. The b43 is too old to handle this chip, and the bcma driver (as suggested perhaps somewhat by grepping the output of hwinfo) is also no good for this chip. The only driver that works is the one in broadcom-wl. hwinfo and yast do not produce anything useable until after this module is loaded, which is no good to the user. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install openSUSE 12.3 on a laptop with BCM43228 wireless chip. 2. 3. Actual Results: User left hung out to dry. Expected Results: User is told what drivers exist for this chip. Adding approximately hwere to get it from would be brilliant. lspci has the only useful info: 02:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM43228 802.11a/b/g/n -- Configure bugmail: https://bugzilla.novell.com/userprefs.cgi?tab=email ------- You are receiving this mail because: ------- You are on the CC list for the bug.
