After upgrading some Lenovo Yoga 3 Pro 1370 laptops from Leap-15.1 to 15.2 (zypper dup and a clean install from iso image), I can only enable the Brodcom wireless module by reverting to the Leap-15.1 kernel-default and broadcom-wl-kmp packages.
I have tried Packnan, Sauerland and my own rebuild of the broadcom-wl package with the kernel-default versions 4.12.14-lp151.28.91.1, 5.3.18-lp152.63.1 and 5.11.0-2.1.gc2f4372
I would really appreciate suggestions to getting these machines working with the Leap-16.2-update kernels.
Booting Leap-15.2 with its own kernel
