Hello, I have this Dell Vostro 1220 http://www.smolts.org/show?uuid=pub_b5e8a9b3-2a44-4453-8207-40f1ccc582b9 and I faced several troubles when installing new openSUSE. It has wi-fi card from Broadcom (driver b43). After installation system does not show any hardware problem with wi-fi, but it does not work. When I go to YaST, I see that driver ssb is loaded for Broadcom wi-fi card and everything seems OK, but it does not work. In dmesg I see I have to run as root nstall_bcm43xx_firmware. After it the wi-fi starts to work.
In my case with Broadcom BCM4312, I blacklist ssb and b43, then it works using broadcom-wl and -broadcom-wl-kmp-desktop from Packman. -- medwinz ======================= http://medwinz.blogsome.com -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
