As seen in http://wireless.kernel.org/en/users/Drivers/b43, the only driver that
works for 14e4:4358 is the Broadcom-wl proprietary driver.

Downloading and building that from source will be very difficult without network
access, unless you installed from the DVD. If not, you need to search the
openSUSE repos for an rpm for wl that matches your kernel as shown by the
command ‘uname -r’. As your 12.2 system has probably not been updated, the
package for that kernel might not be available any longer. If that is the case,
write back telling us what kernel you have, and we will try to figure out how to
get you on the network.

3.4.6-2.10-desktop Thank you for your time.I can download dvd if that helps out :slight_smile: .

Follow this

Install Broadcom Drivers from Packman - Blogs - openSUSE Forums

Thank you for your replay.But the main problem is I can’t get Ethernet connection only wireless so I can’t download with the package manager.

So I need to download packages and needed stuff from windows and install them on Linux if you get me :slight_smile:

That’s going to be difficult for you, because the files you need are not available for you, because your system is not up to date.

Let me look around

In the mean time post the result of

uname -a

I found 64 bit versions
Only use these if you a 64 bit
uname -a will look like this:

3.4.11-2.16-desktop #1 SMP PREEMPT Wed Sep 26 17:05:00 UTC 2012 (259fc87) x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux

My kernel is updated, it the bold bit I’m interested in

Here are the two files you need if you are _64

I have install both rpm and no luck :frowning: .

Try this

sudo /sbin/modprobe -rv wl

sudo /sbin/modprobe -v wl

Thank you for this works fine.Now few more question if I update will I need to repeat the process or?

Add the packman repo as in the guide I gave you in the start of this thread
Then update the system
