All,
I have a Dell Inspiron 1525 with a Broadcom Corporation BCM4312 wireless controller (per lspci).
Per http://en.opensuse.org/HCL/Network_Adapters_(Wireless)
For the BCM 4312 it says: 11.0 Native kernel driver. First check if b43-fwcutter is installed, if not install it, then run as root the included script: install_bcm43xx_firmware from the /usr/sbin directory. You have to be already connected to the Internet to run the script. Restart your system to load the driver.
I've just done that and I still am not showing a wireless controller at all via ifconfig or iwconfig.
That page does not have OS 11.1 info, but I assume it is still supported.
What else am I supposed to do?
Forgive me for this, but buy an Intel mini-PCI to replace the Broadcom. MOST 1525's shipped with the Intel 3945 chipset card, and it's one of the best made.....cost is $30+.
