In particular after installing the 2 packages from packman, you need to either reboot or do some manual work like:
rmmod ndiswrapper b43 ssb bcm43xx b43legacy modprobe ieee80211_crypt_tkip insmod wl.ko
And in turn lsmod should not be showing any of the b43 modules if you're using the STA driver. (ie. the driver from packman)

Well, I got it working -- once, setting wl as module name from the drop-down in the hardware section for editing the network card in Yast. After reboot, we're back to where we were before: broadcom-wl is not loaded, and modprobe broadcom-wl gives "not found". No wireless connection shows up in iwconfig. Now in Yast, there are no modules in the drop-down.
lsmod shows that none of the other modules are loaded.
modprobe ieee80211_crypt_tkip executes without error
insmod wl.ko says "no such file or directory"
Any ideas? We now know that it will work; we just need to figure out how to get it to work all the time.
The actual module name is wl _not_ broadcom-wl. I just loaded this same software for my BCM4321, which the driver identifies as a BCM4328 and now I am able to use the on-board wireless. -- Ken Schneider SuSe since Version 5.2, June 1998 -- To unsubscribe, e-mail: opensuse+unsubscribe@opensuse.org For additional commands, e-mail: opensuse+help@opensuse.org
