I have a sneaking suspicion that it needs ndiswrapper but I’m not sure

The 14e4:4315 device will work with b43 as long as the kernel is 2.6.32 or
later, or if the compat-wireless package is applied. You might also use the
broadcom-wl device.

Kernels 2.6.32 or 2.6.33 may be downloaded from the Factory repo.

Hello,
could you please post the direct links for those drivers…m a noob and…i am fed up reoslving dependencies:(
Thanks

caf4926 · February 8, 2010, 4:01pm

If that’s the case then I doubt you are up to the kernel build.

Try ndiswrapper. It’s a bit nasty, it uses XP drivers.
@swerdna has a guide
Madwifi or Ndiswrapper Wireless Network Drivers - Suse/openSUSE 10, 11 - LAN & Internet access

Noks28 · February 8, 2010, 4:42pm

Any simpler way…i m ready to post as many specs you folks ask…i m frustrated doing this all…please
Thanks

Noks28 · February 8, 2010, 8:39pm

i think the kernel is higher than 2.6.32;nd i think i have installed the b43 thing…lemme chek it once i boot to linux…nyways its vry hard to get a wired cnnction again…

caf4926 · February 8, 2010, 10:18pm
