Matt, Sorry about to assign this bug to you, I just remember the Vlado reassign some driver's package to you, :). Maybe we could close it for not supporting this packages. -- 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.

The latest broadcom firmware files are not included when running `install_bcm43xx_firmware`. Currently, b43-fwcutter needs to be called manually on a slightly newer version of the firmware. To get Wifi working with the `b43` driver (kernel 3.2) I had to use at least version 5.100.138 of the broadcrom drivers (found at http://www.lwfinger.com/b43-firmware/broadcom-wl-5.100.138.tar.bz2). hence, I'd love to see the b43-fwcutter package being updated to retrieve a more recent version of the firmware. Would make things a lot easier. -- 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.

..to add, I used these methods to get Wifi working on the MacBook Pro late 2011 model. With kernel 3.2 and latest broadcom drivers the device is reasonably supported. It also needs SUSPEND_MODULES="b43 bcma" in a /etc/pm/config.d/ file. Yes, it is the way to make it work. Basically, the kernel v3.1 has already supported the broadcom wifi. In brcm80211, so v3.2 is supporting better. Also if you are interested in Broadcom official proprietary driver, please access Brodcom site to download.
