Default Dell Inspiron 1271 Wireless problem

Hello there. I have one little problem. The openSUSE can't find my wireless card by default. So I was just wondering if somebody can guide me through the process?
BTW my wireless card is Dell WIreless 1505 Draft 802.11n WLAN Mini-Card (from everest and will post it later if u would need the openSUSE "way")

Wireless problems are better handled in the wireless subforum.

If you run the command '/sbin/lspci -nnv | grep 14e4', you will see
that you have a device with PCI ID of 14e4:432X. Those devices are not
yet handled by the Linux driver b43. You should install the package
for the Broadcom-wl driver.
