[opensuse] 11.2 and Broadcom STA driver
All, Now that OS 11.2 is out, I'm trying to get my laptop wireless working. I have to use the STA driver. See http://en.opensuse.org/Broadcom_BCM43xx_Wireless#Broadcom_STA_Driver The packman repos appear populated and I've installed the modules described. But the insmod wl.ko step is failing. # insmod wl.ko insmod: can't read 'wl.ko': No such file or directory linux-mdju:/home/gaf # cat /etc/issue Welcome to openSUSE 11.2 "Emerald" - Kernel \r (\l). (I think Emerald indicates Gold Master). Does anyone know what the status is, or if 11.2 has a different process for the STA driver?

I'm not sure the PM repo is yet built against 11.2 GM. There was probably a kernel update slipped in before the release (or between the time PM built and the current date). Any problem on the packman repo is probably better addressed to the packman team directly (their contact detail can be found on the PM website).
