Hey guys,
I recently installed openSUSE on my xps 16, but i cannot find the wireless driver for openSUSE.
Its a 5530 Mini wireless N card, please could anyone help me!
thanks
What’s the output of
/sbin/lspci -nnk
a list of my drivers, my wireless card and ati 4670 drivers are missing…
Can you post the output for us to see, that’s what I was suggesting:)

Your wireless info is:
04:00.0 Network controller [0280]: Broadcom Corporation Device [14e4:4353] (rev 01)
Subsystem: Dell Device [1028:000e]
But it doesn’t tell us which broadcom device it is.
If you have a Ethernet connection, try installing the packman broadcom driver to match your kernel.
uname -a
Will tell you which kernel you use.
If you don’t have the Packman repo already, add it. From a su - terminal do this:
zypper ar -f http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/packman/suse/11.2/ packman
copy and paste that in your terminal.
If you post me the result of uname -a
I will give you the code to install the driver, or find your own way in software management.
