Default Re: openSUSE 11 and bcm43xx-fwcutter/ndiswrapper?

use the B43 driver as mentioned above, I was using Ndiswrapper because it worked, but now that I switched I'm happy to say that b43 works and is way faster for me, plus skips the "configuring" step now. Once you install fwcutter run these comands to get wireless.

Use version 4.150.10.5 of Broadcom's proprietary driver.
Download and extract the firmware from this driver tarball:

export FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR="/lib/firmware"
wget http://mirror2.openwrt.org/sources/b...0.10.5.tar.bz2
tar xjf broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5.tar.bz2
cd broadcom-wl-4.150.10.5/driver
sudo ../../b43-fwcutter-011/b43-fwcutter -w "$FIRMWARE_INSTALL_DIR" wl_apsta_mimo.o
