I took a look at less | dmesg and couldnt find anything like “Wireless” ore “wlan0” ???

Heulsuse:/sbin # iwconfig
lo        no wireless extensions.

eth0      no wireless extensions.

pan0      no wireless extensions.

In Yast there is an entry for the Wireless device!

BCM4312 802.11a/b/g (Kein hwinfo)

Gerätename: wlan0
Beim Booten automatisch gestartet
Über DHCP zugewiesene IP-Adresse

The command is dmesg | less and you need to page through the whole file. Look
and ‘man less’ to see how to use less. Even better to look at ‘dmesg | grep b43’.

You now need to configure wlan0 using YaST and/or NetworkManager.
