Hi,
I am an absolute noob here. Can someone help me setup my wireless?
I have the ethernet connected and it works.
I tried to setup the wireless through the KNetworkManager, but it’s not working.
How do I check if my wireless card drivers have been installed and it’s being detected by Suse??
I would appreciate your help
Thanks

Would my bios have anything to do with it? It is A01.
Hi,
First I wanna thank everyone for replying back. Thank you!!!
Yes, My wireless is working now! Thanks to sabbyman. I followed the instructions as it is. It worked like a charm. (I have the A06 BIOS).
Problem Solved!! I am beginning to enjoy linux now 
Just one more “noob” question…How do I copy the stuff (the outputs)from the Terminal into a text editor? Ctrl+C didn’t work.
And once again, THANK YOU sabbyman…and everyone else. Thanks a lot!!!
Enjoy your weekend guys!

From a terminal, you can get text into the clipboard by highlighting
it with the mouse, then pull down Edit and Copy it.
the actual shortcut is control + shift + c.
No worries. I was really glad to help you out there. 
Don’t forget to bookmark it.

The BCM4328 needs the Broadcom wl driver. Since you are posting in the
wrong forum, I’m letting you do the research yourself.
