Wifi Wl-100g Driver (bcm34xx)

I've a problem in my OpenSuSe 10.3 linux bcm43xx driver. The driver don't want to search for a network, even if I manually specify ESSID. According dmesg the driver finds a wiFi access point, then sends authorization request to the AP, and awaiting for an answer from it, bit the answer didn't get into the driver.
What the problem it may take place? How to solve it?
Settings of the AP are the following:
Open key without a password.
Two /var/log/messeges log parts for the driver see below.

did you install the firmware to get the card working ? have you configured it in yast ? have you tried ndiswrapper to get it working, AFAIK the bcm43xx cards don't always work & you need to use ndiswrapper

andy

With 10.3 I was able to install a package named ndisinstaller (from YaST). Then I ran this applet and it took care of *everything* (except getting the XP driver). Luckily I had XP on my machine also so I have the drivers available.

I've found the Broadcom cards work really well in 10.3 with bcm43xx driver.
You just need to add the firmware as andy said.
