hi folks, I have installed openSUSE 10.0 on an HP nx98500--- mostly working great with the exception of keyboard (see off-topic list) and the broadcom wifi chipset no working. I have heard that openSUSE 10.3 has the appropriate kernel and broadcom drivers (BCM43xx) for the HP nx9500. Could someone confirm.

I have just installed 10.3 on a DV95xx as well, and even if the kernel detects and loads the driver bcm43xx, it is missing the firmware update, which is non-oss. I have the Win drivers, but the fwcutter refuses to support the driver I have. I have also downloaded the most recent drivers from the HP web site and it fails as well. My next step (tonight) is to download the latest frcutter and try that. Anyone else with suggestions?

I have a laptop that uses a Broadcom chipset. Has 10.3 on it. Tried the bcm43xx driver. Ran into some annoying little trouble with disabling/enabling the wireless, card not associating with an AP or getting an IP occasionally . Tossed it and restarted using ndiswrapper and the Win driver. On 12/19/07, M Harris wrote:

Also, I would like to purchase the boxed set of 10.3 (if that is still an option) --is this only available on-line these days? It has been a long time since I have seen the boxed set on BestBuy, etc. Is 10.4 around the corner soon?

Thanks

I had a Compaq Presario F500 laptop with broadcom wireless network card. OpenSUSE 10.3 has 2.6.22 kernel which has modules for broadcom nwtwork cards. You also need the proper firmware for the nic. I run bcmxx_fimware_cutter which extracts the broadcom firmware for cards. All you have to do is intall bcmxx_fimware_cutter package with yast and run "bcmxx_firmware_cutter" as root from cli. After the firmware installed you can configure broadcom nic via YAST. It worked for me. Also, I would like to purchase the boxed set of 10.3 (if that is still an option) --is this only available on-line these days? It has been a long time since I have seen the boxed set on BestBuy, etc. Just have a look around. Is 10.4 around the corner soon? Next realease is 11.0. There will be no 10.4 release as far as I know. -- Gökşin Akdeniz
