Orinoco cards use a different chip set and drivers than broadcom chip based cards. There are no 64bit drivers for broadcom cards to date. Believe me I would be running 64 bit on my laptop if it were possible to get the internal broadcom wireless to function that way. Craig Curt Purdy wrote:
I don't believe it will require a 64-bit Windoze driver. My problem was that I could not get ndiswrapper to run under 64-bit, so I installed a 32-bit version of 9.1, got ndiswrapper to run and was about to get it up, when I came in possession of an Orinoco Gold card. Slipped it in under 64-bit and 9.1 saw it, installed the driver, and it worked.

And since there isn't a 64-bit windows driver for that card, I don't think it will work for 64-bit SuSE either.
If I am wrong, please correct me because I have a zv5000 (hp) laptop that has one of those on-board.
I just use wired support for now.

Hi I am having problem to setting up my WiFi Card. My Card is BCM4306 802.11b/g as detected by Yast Hardwar info. Though theNetwork interface only detected by LAN card so I manually Configured the WLAN Card as direct PCI based WLAN Card. But still Kwifimanager can not detect any network.
So please help me how to setup WLAN or give me some link.
AFAIK, Broadcom chips require you to use ndiswrapper along with a windows driver for the WIFI card. Look at installing ndiswrapper.
