Wifi Broadcom 4311 Under Opensuse 10.3 64 Bit

I have searched the forum and found many ways to activate the wifi through ndiswrapper, etc.

Which is the easiest way?

Currently the wifi is detected by default, but it is not working.

which driver are you using ? ndiswrappered ones or fw-cutter ones ? or native drivers ?

If your wifi card is detected and not working it may require an firmware. Google and follow the firmware extraction procedure from your windows driver and copy to /lib/firmware

restart and system and configure the Wifi using yast

Someone has written a script for installing the bcm43xx using bcm43xx-fwcutter. I can't remember where I found it. It goes:

install_bcm43xx_firmware

It worked for me.
