My problem is that my wireless doesn't work. Like i mentioned i have
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'
pci.subsys_product = 'Wireless 1510 Wireless-N WLAN Mini-Card'

My ethernet card works propertly, and i think that this wi-fi is being recognized, but how make it works, i know that are some threads related to this, SuSE 11.0 & BCM4322 wifi, dv9925nr - Page 6 - openSUSE Forums, but i can't understand the solution given

If somebody had this problem and coulb be able to explain me i´ll be very grateful

I have found this reply wireless with dell wireless 1510 802.11n - openSUSE Forums and it seems that my wireless card is recorgnized (the light in wifi is on) but when i write modprobe ndiswrapper my computer can't do anything else, it's freezed. Do you have any idea?

[deltaflyer44]

not really, haven't had to use ndiswrapper for a while now. If ndiswrapper is freezing the system,you need to ensure you are using the version that came with opensuse & not a compiled version & that you are using the correct windows driver

do you have the packman repository in your repository list ? if so, follow this

1 ) open YaST
2 ) click on software management
3 ) in the search field type broadcom-wl
4 ) in the results pane, click broadcom-wl and broadcom-wl-kmp-default
5 ) click accept & the drivers will be installed.

if you do not have packman repository, add it & then follow the instructions
