Default 11.2M2 no WL (broadcom wifi) nor fglrx

well, I can't compile either module.
fglrx install script fails right away because it can't find XFree86, and the wl install script can't figure out what kernel I have...

I'll look more into the wl module, but I don't know what to do for fglrx...

and google gadgets don't work either, but that may because I don't have fglrx...

Do you have kernel-source, kernel-syms etc., installed?

In "patterns" in Yast, select Kernel Development then make sure kernel-source, kernel-syms, kernel-base & kernel-extra are selected -- and that they match the installed kernel ("uname -a" in a terminal). If they don't match, install them and then do an Yast online update

Because you have been messing around, start the compile with "make clean" (when in the proper folder).
