Hi I am new to openSUSE and i wanted to set up wifi.
I downloaded wl driver, network manager etc. And once it did showed me wifi near me I rebooted and now it doesnt show any wifis.
Hi and welcome to the Forum 
Sometimes the initrd is not rebuilt to blacklist the old modules and use the wl one, so as root user run the following command and reboot;
mkinitrd
Did you enable NetworkManager on reboot?
systemctl enable NetworkManager-dispatcher.service
systemctl enable NetworkManager.service
systemctl start NetworkManager-dispatcher.service
systemctl start NetworkManager.service
- Which user interface? – KDE Plasma, GNOME, something else?
- Are you sure that, the Wireless interface is turned on?
You can check this with the “nmcli” CLI tool: “nmcli radio wifi” should show the current status of the WiFi radio.
I downloaded wl driver,
How do you do this.
Please post:
/sbin/lspci -nnk | grep -iA3 net
uname -a
zypper lr -d
zypper se -si broad kernel
Please use Code-Tags, the small # in the Editor of this Forum Software.

This are packages for arm-processors, not for Intel.
So delete:
2 | home_-miska-_arm | Few packages for ARM (openSUSE_Leap_15.1) | Yes | (r ) Yes | No | 99 | rpm-md | http://download.opensuse.org/reposit...penSUSE_Leap_15.1/ |
And use the Packman Repo:
http://packman.inode.at/suse/openSUSE_Leap_15.1/
Inside is broadcom-wl and broadcom-wl-kmp-default for your running kernel.
There is syntax error it says ( unexpected
And can you show me how to download with packman I have never used it
And you’ll want to change the url of the following to the one for your version of openSUSE, that is, 15.1.
14 | snappy | snappy | Yes | (r ) Yes | Yes | 99 | rpm-md | https://download.opensuse.org/repositories/system:/snappy/openSUSE_Leap_15.0
There is syntax error it says ( unexpected
You must post the error…
But remove the Repo:
as root:
zypper rr home_-miska-_arm
Do you have temporarily Internet with cable?
If yes, as root:
zypper ar -f -p 20 http://packman.inode.at/suse/openSUSE_Leap_15.1/ packman
zypper in -f broadcom-wl broadcom-wl-kmp-default
Restart your system and see for your Wlan.
I did what you said no error was showed to me but still when I click on internet icon in bar it shows me only my wired connection(I rebooted)
also when i run nmtui in terminal it doesnt show up
So post the commands from my threat once more.
And use Code-Tags, the small #
here is Code
zypper rr home_-miska-_arm
zypper ar -f -p 20 http://packman.inode.at/suse/openSUSE_Leap_15.1/ packman
zypper in -f broadcom-wl broadcom-wl-kmp-default
I did these but it still doesnt work

Turns out WWAN is disabled. How to enable it
You should post the output, enclosed within code tags (refer to the ‘#’ button in the forum editor)
However, the WWAN generally refers to cellular/LTE connectivity so should not be impacting here.
