I bought a HP Probook 6460b with Windows 7 pre-installed. HP is supporting Linux (Suse) on this laptop. That’s why i thougt that this would be a good choice.
After installing SLED11, i was not able to connect to the internet at all.
No device is available, no Wired (ethernet), no WLAN.
So i was not able to connect to internet at all.
That is strange…under the Windows7, which is still running, everything is okay.
I tried the drivers from the HP Linux support pages (for Suse), no difference.
I made a new Installation OpenSuse 11.4.
Well, at least the Ethernet is working and i can connect to the internet.
The devices are a HP hs 2340 HSPA+ Mobile Broadband and an Intel Device 1503 Ethernet Controller. Checking the installed software, it is said the Broadcom drivers are installed…
But: /sbin/lspci shows its a BCM4313 802.11b/g/n Wireless LAN Controller.
Does anyone know how to find the right drivers and how to install them ??

This is a forum for openSUSE, not SLED. The two systems have common roots, but
differ a lot in the details. I don’t know how to do it on SLED, but you need the
Broadcom-wl package for your kernel.
