Hi Team,

Could anyone give me instructions on how to install the BCM43227 drivers in opensuse 12.3 KDE whose kernel is upgraded to 3.7.10 stable downloaded from kernel.org

I’ve tried the options mentioned from 802.11 Linux STA driver | Broadcom link on readme.txt
Facing below issue,

First,
I’d recommend removing what you did as much as you can.

Then,
On the chance someone has pre-built a working driver for your system, add the following wireless driver repositories

zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/driver:/wireless/openSUSE_12.3/ openSUSE-12.3-Wireless

zypper ar http://download.opensuse.org/repositories/driver:/wireless/12.3-update/ openSUSE-12.3-Wireless-Update

If no driver is installed automatically

You might have a look at these two articles…
Note the need to run rfkill to verify and perhaps set the status of your Bluetooth radio

Hi
Just grab the broadcom-wl src rpm from the packman repository and
rebuild that (AS you user!) open a terminal;


cd
mkdir broadcom
cd broadcom
wget http://packman.links2linux.org/downloadsource/408857/broadcom-wl-5.100.82.112-11.38.src.rpm
rpmbuild --rebuild broadcom-wl-5.100.82.112-11.38.src.rpm

Install the rpm for your arch and the kmp for your kernel AS root
user and reboot.
