Hi,
I've just been testing factory on an Acer Aspire 1551. This machine has a bcm43225 wifi card. I'm on milestone 5 but so far the kernel doesn't seem to know to automatically load the bcma module. I have to mobprobe bcma every boot (or put it in modprobe.d/ somewhere) otherwise the wireless won't work.
Should I raise a bug to get the bcma module loaded for that card by default? What component controls which modules are loaded for which hardware?
That is a bug in the bcma kernel module that has been fixed upstream with commit 886b66ef2f2d4984f6c72d86a9d8a3ffe4344fa5. Unfortunately, the patch was not marked with a Cc for stable, which would have gotten it propagated to the openSUSE kernel. I have Cc'd GregKH, and that should get what you need.
