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.

Thanks, it could do the trick. It seems to be working consistently now with just brcmsmac loaded. I'm not sure if the problems I had at first were driver/module related or due to Networkmanager problems. We'll see I guess, I'll test again after the next kernel update in factory.
