[opensuse] Wireless Setup
Hello, I am trying to setup wireless for my Compaq R3000 AMD notebook. I have tried using ndiswrappers but have been unsuccessful. Would anyone know how to do this in a real easy step by step way? It has a Broadcom 43xx mini pci card in it. Any help would really be apprecia as I am stuck in a hotel with only wireless and am forced to use windows to send this out.

Any help would really be apprecia as I am stuck in a hotel with only wireless and am forced to use windows to send this out. On SuSE 10.2 there is a wireless driver, from memory, it is bcm43xx.ko. It requires the firmware. To extract the firmware from a Windows bcmwl5.sys file, and place the firmware into /lib/firmware. The Wireless on my laptop has been working perfectly. Prior to that I did use ndiswrapper because fwcutter didn't like the version of bcmwl5.sys
