Ah, that's a shame. I have the 4311 which works fine.
You'd probably want to uninstall the bcm43xx driver, and go with the ndiswrapper workaround. While not advisable universally, yours seems to be one of those cases where ndiswrapper is the way to go.

Hi, blacklisted linux driver in /etc/modprobe.d/blacklist by adding blacklist bcm43xx at end of file. Having installed the windows driver (in this case from /tmp/linksys/lsbcmnds.inf, but after change of hardware followed the same recipe for a Dlink driver) using ndiswrapper as follows: ndiswrapper -i /tmp/linksys/lsbcmnds.inf then type ndiswrapper -l you should see the following # ndiswrapper -l Installed ndis drivers: lsbcmnds driver present, xyzhardware present then enable the wireless network interface -- type modprobe ndiswrapper I still had to add the following step: for module to be loaded at boot time so go into YAST and select system ==> /etc/sysconfig editor scroll down to SYSTEM==>KERNEL==>MODULES_LOADED_ON_BOOT add ndiswrapper to the list (if there are any entries just leave a space and type ndiswrapper).
