I am running openSUSE 13.1 Beta 1 64bit on HP Compaq 6515b. My wireless adaptor is a Broadcom BCM4311.

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> inote:~ # lspci | grep Network 30:00.0 Network controller: Broadcom Corporation BCM4311 802.11a/b/g (rev 02) >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

I installed the the Broadcom firmware by issuing :

inote:~ # zypper in b43-fwcutter

followed by :

inote:~ # /usr/sbin/install_bcm43xx_firmware

At first attempt my notebook froze during the installation, just after finishing download. I rebooted and installed again. This time I encountered a kernel panic.

Current kernel version is 3.11.1-1.g1383321-desktop.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install b43-fwcutter 2. Run /usr/sbin/install_bcm43xx_firmware 3.

At first 2 trials my notebook froze just like during installation in the Beta. On the third try installation completed successfully without freezing. Now, I can't be sure what was bugging unless someone else having the same type of notebook & Broadcom adaptor reproduces the error. -- 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.
