Question openSUSE 11 and bcm43xx-fwcutter/ndiswrapper?

I've had a look at openSUSE 10.3 in the past and it was really nice, except the package management was lacking...it was extremely slow! I've heard that openSUSE 11 has 400% faster package management (or something like that) and it has KDE4 by default. So I thought that I could install it on my new computer I'm going to build with my dad. My dad asked me to teach him a bit about Linux and I decided that openSUSE 11 with KDE4 would be easiest to teach.

Anyway, for any of this to happen, I'm going to need internet access. There isn't a wired connection. It wireless only, and it's a broadcom based card, meaning I'll have to use bcm43xx-fwcutter or ndiswrapper. I'm just wondering if any of these two (preferably ndiswrapper, because it works better) are there on the KDE4 installation CD by default...
