I had it working find on 10.2 as well as on Ubuntu on my laptop. The bcm43xx native driver is installed and loaded, but you will notice that the firmware is not installed. What you need to do is to download BCMWL5.SYS, then use bcm43xx-fwcutter to extract the firmware. fwcutter has an option to install the firmware, but it usually goes into /lib/modules/<kernel version>/firmware. Once I did this on my laptop, it came right up.. I was then able to use YaST to enter the WEP key. Currently on Ubuntu, I am using Netmanager because I operate on several networks. I do have the firmware, and can send it as an attachment if you want it, but it is not on this computer. -- Jerry Feldman <gaf@blu.org> Boston Linux and Unix user group http://www.blu.org PGP key id:C5061EA9 PGP Key fingerprint:053C 73EC 3AC1 5C44 3E14 9245 FB00 3ED5 C506 1EA9

Just FYI, the signature of above post was received broken on the opensuse ML. I guess it has something to do with the quoting strings(look in the source, there's encoded with =20). Greetings Mirrakor
