broadcom and suse 9.1

I buy suse 9.1 yesterday. At the finish of setup I discover that the broadcom integrated network adapter in my ibm thinkpad G40 not is recognized by suse 9.1 I try to load different modules, I googling... but I don't find any help about. I test also suse 9.1 on a ibm x235 where is the same broadcom nic with the same result, no network card. if I use ifconfig it is possible to configure nic, as eth0, but when I ping a host from the same subnet, it appear "network unreacheable"... Do anyone have the same problem and think a solution? -- Calogero Bonasia
