Hello, in previous versions it was more or less working that driver for Broadcom wifi card was automatically installed. I tried fresh install of 13.2 on two different machines equipped with Broadcom (BCM4313) and during installation, I could connect to the wifi and use on-line repositories. But after installation the driver was missing and network card was not configured. This is really weird: some HW works during installation but fails later. This driver should be part of kernel, I think. I had to install it manually. KDE4 wasn't able to tell me what is wrong. XFCE told me that firmware is missing. And I had to configure the network card in YaST. I see this as regression when comparing with 13.1. Anyone has similar experience? Should I report is as a bug? Best, Vojtěch
If you installed from a LiveCD this frequently happens.The LIVECD seems to either have or fetch these drivers. On an upgrade, it can use the old firmware
I was using DVD.
There is a firmware fetching step at the end of the install, before rebooting as I recall. It asked me to run a command to fetch the firmware, and I did and it worked perfectly.
No prompt like this for me.
I believe it was something like /usr/sbin/install_bcm43xx_firmware But if all you have is wifi you have a bit of a catch22 after your first reboot.
There are packages b43-firmware and/or broadcom-wl providing the driver.
-----------another issue BTW, why is it I can never import your public key? OpenSuse tools find it on the key server, but refuse to import it.
