I don't know how to check whether the wl kernel module is loaded (sorry).
/etc/modprobe.d/broadcom-wl-blacklist lists bcm43xx, ssb, b43 adn ndsiwrapper -- which I guess is what it should be.
lsmod does not list any of these -- nor does it list broadcom-wl for that matter. Should it? I'm beyond my ken here, so I'd be grateful for step by step instructions and to what to do next.
Thanks
Have you tried at the command line: modprobe broadcom-wl

Has anyone pointed you at <http://en.opensuse.org/HCL/Network_Adapters_%28Wireless%29/Broadcom_BCM43xx#Broadcom_STA_Driver> 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.
