I have seen too many people has a lot of problems with their wifi’s.
My BCM4318 works fine until 11.1 but with 11.2 I can see the light on, iwconfig tell me I am associated with my AP, iwlist scan my AP and others, but I cannot get internet connection.
Does somebody have got configured a BCM4318 card? Thanks

Yes the 4318 works.
There are two possible situations that might be causing your problem.
(1) A nameserver problem: If ‘ping 216.83.154.106’ works, but ‘ping
www.samba.org’ does not, you have this problem. To fix it, ‘sudo rm
/etc/resolv.conf’, then remake the connection with kNM.
(2) A routing problem. Please issue the command ‘/sbin/route -n’. It should
produce output that looks like:
Kernel IP routing table
Destination Gateway Genmask Flags Metric Ref Use Iface
192.168.1.0 0.0.0.0 255.255.255.0 U 2 0 0 wlan1
0.0.0.0 192.168.1.1 0.0.0.0 UG 0 0 0 wlan1
If the line with the UG set in the flags column is missing, you need to change
the configuration for your wired card. With Yast => Network Devices => Network
Settings, choose the “Global Options” Tab. Ignore the warning. Select the
“Traditional method with ifup” option. If you do not need IPV6, uncheck that
option, then select the Overview tab and edit your wired device so that it is
“Started automatically on cable connection” and your wireless so that it is
“Started automatically on boot”. Finish Network Settings, then reenter and
switch back to “Controlled by NetworkManager”.
Than you very much lwfinger. The key was to configure my wired card as “Started automatically on cable connection”.
Thanks a lot again.
