No network on HP 6830s laptop

[glavic]

I have installed openSUSE 11.1, and my first problem is to get my laptop online (HP 6830s).
As I see in NetworkManager wireless is enabled, but it doesn't find any network (there are 3 arround). Hardware information returns the following:

  105: udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_14e4_432b'
  pci.device_class = 2 (0x2)
  info.subsystem = 'pci'
  pci.device_subclass = 128 (0x80)
  info.product = 'BCM4322 802.11a/b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller'
  pci.device_protocol = 0 (0x0)
  info.udi = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_14e4_432b'
  pci.vendor = 'Broadcom Corporation'
  linux.sysfs_path = '/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.1/0000:03:00.0'
  info.vendor = 'Broadcom Corporation'
  info.parent = '/org/freedesktop/Hal/devices/pci_8086_2942'
  pci.product = 'BCM4322 802.11a/b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller'
  pci.linux.sysfs_path = '/sys/devices/pci0000:00/0000:00:1c.1/0000:03:00.0'
  pci.subsys_vendor = 'Hewlett-Packard Company'
  pci.product_id = 17195 (0x432b)
  linux.hotplug_type = 2 (0x2)
  pci.vendor_id = 5348 (0x14e4)
  linux.subsystem = 'pci'
  pci.subsys_product_id = 4992 (0x1380)
  pci.subsys_vendor_id = 4156 (0x103c)

What can i do to make my wireless card find my network and connect to it?

Thanks

The "BCM4322 802.11a/b/g/n" is not currently supported by any of the opensource drivers.
Until it is you will have to install Broadcom's closed source driver to make any use of this chipset.

You can download this driver from here.
You can also install it from the Packman repository under the name "broadcom-wl".

Tnx,
I installed PackMan :: Package details for broadcom-wl.
Now eth1 is displayed in knetworkmanager, but how to find wireless networks and connect to them?

Hmm, is it possible to auto search the wireless networks, because I don't know the ESSID.

[deltaflyer44]

netork manager will automatically display available networks and show if they are encrypted or not.If you don't know the ESSID, you might not be able to connect.So, it is better if you know the ESSID
