https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=787079 https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=787079#c0 Summary: Wifi not working for Dell Wireless 1397 (BCM4312) Classification: openSUSE Product: openSUSE 12.2 Version: Final Platform: i586 OS/Version: openSUSE 12.2 Status: NEW Severity: Major Priority: P5 - None Component: Basesystem AssignedTo: bnc-team-screening@forge.provo.novell.com ReportedBy: ruchir.brahmbhatt@ecosmob.com QAContact: qa-bugs@suse.de Found By: --- Blocker: --- User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux i686) AppleWebKit/537.4 (KHTML, like Gecko) Chrome/22.0.1229.94 Safari/537.4 Wifi is not working for me on opensuse 12.2. It was using b43 driver for broadcom 1397 but it was not getting ip address and continuously keep reconnecting so I was never able to use wifi. I tried to install broadcom-wl but that also didn't help. When I was using b43 it was at least showing wireless option in network management plasmoid but when using broadcom-wl, it doesn't even show wireless option. I have to reboot to windows to use wifi. Here is information from lspci. 03:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 802.11b/g LP-PHY [14e4:4315] (rev 01) Subsystem: Dell Wireless 1397 WLAN Mini-Card [1028:000c] Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enable wifi switch on laptop. Actual Results: Can't use wifi connection. Expected Results: Wifi should work.

I suspect that you use b43 or whatever modern name they have nowadays... the only way to use the card (4322) was to install wl (broadcom-wl) from packman.
