. Do you have a b43-open directory? I pointed b43-open to b43 rather than b43legacy with no change in results. Can you send a copy of the lines form dmesg where the firmware is loaded?
Not on 42.2, I do not have b43-open.

I thinhttps://bugzilla.opensuse.org/show_bug.cgi?id=1037344#c27k you should start reading the bug report mentioned by Richmond - at about reply 35

Also try this to pin down if it is the same issue:
You can try to unload b43 once, and load again: modprobe -r b43 modprobe b43
If your wifi works after that, then this is certainly the problem and hopefully opensuse will push a fix. Maybe not, since its not a security issue. (Stupid Policy).
Maybe you can try the solution in message 42 of same thread.
First I did a zypper up to see if anything had been done. Did not work. I then tried to install the patch: "https://software.opensuse.org//download.html?project=home%3Admolkentin%3Adracut%3Adevel%3Agit&package=dracut" Not sure what happened, but the first attempt (using the one click install option) said it was installing for ever. I waited 30 minutes, then killed the browser and tried again. Second time was a success. lsmod still showed no b43 modules. I did a sudo modprobe b43 and the modules were installed. I went to yast and the device ssb appeared under Module name, as expected. Data xfers worked. Is there a place where I can insert the modprobe b43 command so that the system comes up with wlan enabled?
