You have to patch the driver to build it on kernel 3.11.
Better install the ready-made packages from Packman:
http://packman.links2linux.de/package/broadcom-wl
You need “broadcom-wl” and one of the “broadcom-wl-kmp-xxx” packages depending on which kernel to use.
Or, if you have a different way to connect to the Internet (via wired f.e.), just add the Packman repo in YaST->Software Repositories->Add->Community Repositories (you’ll need it for most multimedia stuff anyway), and install the packages with YaST->Software Management.
If you do insist on compiling itself, have a look at the necessary patches here:
https://pmbs.links2linux.de/package/show/Essentials/broadcom-wl
thank you very very much, I have solved this problem with this packman. But you said, I should add this URL in yast software repository, but it failed, I don’t know how to figure it. And as I am new in Linux, could you give me some suggestion, what material should I read in order to behave better. I borrowed some books about it, but it doesn’t work.
thanks in advance
Good to hear. 
So the wireless is working now?
But you said, I should add this URL in yast software repository, but it failed, I don’t know how to figure it.
Which URL did you add where? And how did it fail?
I meant you should click on “Add”, then select “Community Repositories”, and then add the “Packman repo” in that list.
This only works if you have a working Internet connection though.
The link was not supposed to be entered in YaST, that was a link to the website where you could download the packages manually. (if you don’t have a working Internet connection, the only way to install them is to download them on a different system, transfer them via an USB stick or similar and install them manually with “sudo rpm -i filename.rpm” or just by (double) clicking on them in your file manager)
And as I am new in Linux, could you give me some suggestion, what material should I read in order to behave better.
Depends about what particular topics you want to read I suppose.
Maybe start with the official openSUSE documentation: (the Startup Guide would be best at first I suppose)
http://activedoc.opensuse.org/
If you want to know more about the graphical desktop you’re using, have a look at the included documentation.
For KDE this would be “Help” in the K-Menu’s Favorites.
I borrowed some books about it, but it doesn’t work.
The books don’t work? Linux doesn’t work? Or what?
