I have a HP Mini 5150, pre-installed with SLED11.
Recently I installed OpenSuSE11.0, but I decided to upgrade to OpenSuSE11.2.
The wireless lan worked in 11.0 and in SLED11, but now in 11.2 it does not. I followed the same procedure according to the instructions on the SuSE website - /usr/sbin/install_bcm43xx_firmware. I also did this for 11.0, which worked.
I thought I would be able to troubleshoot, but now I am stumped. In dmesg, there is no mention of the wireless card, and hwinfo --wlan reports nothing.
Any ideas… maybe copying the configuration from SLED11 would work? How can I do this? If I understand correctly the kernel must detect the card at least.
