Hello, I just installed openSUSE 12.3 on my acer laptop but wireless internet doesn’t work only wired. I assume I need wireless drivers for my card because on Ubuntu it also didn’t work and it offered me automatically to install the drivers but where can I get the drivers for openSUSE?
Thanks!
First: openSUSE 12.3 has not been released yet, it’s the RC2 that’s out just now.
Second: Please post output of
/sbin/lspci -nnk

You need the broadcom-wl packages AFAIK. For 12.2 they’re in the Packman repo, but since 12.3 has not been released yet … You could check the Packman Factory repo.
Found it, /usr/sbin/install_bcm43xx_firmware worked 
Thanks!
This is CLOSED. Will be moved to Pre-release/Beta.
