What about the state of packman tumbleweed? There:
broadcom-wl-kmp-desktop-5.100.82.112_k3.1.0_1.2-9.7.x86_64.rpm 2011-Dec-12
but Tumbleweed has a new linux-3.2.0 kernel now. Is there someone having connections to the packman site?
also there is a bug with changed kernel abi, which seems to me the arch people could have a patch for broadcom:
https://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=19514
The bug keeps throwing this to the logs:
ERROR @wl_cfg80211_get_station : Could not get rssi (-22)
Also archlinux rationale sounded sensible - the patch does not help to get my dmesg cleaner, this error keeps staying:
ERROR @wl_cfg80211_get_station : Could not get rssi (-22)
I don’t get kernel 3.2 in the tumbleweed repo’s unless I have misunderstood you?
I wouldn’t expect to see it as I thought 3.1.8 was the latest stable version?
@cl00t, yes Tumbleweed ist starting over …

I seem to be having the same trouble finding a matching broadcom-wl for any 3.2 or 3.3 kernel from factory, tumbleweed, etc.
Repo list is below. The only broadcom-wl driver I can find, in packman is for 3.1.9?
To make matters worse, the broadcom-wl driver will not compile on a Suse 3.2 or 3.3 kernel. Google seems to show this is due to the broadcom source not yet being updated for newer kernels, though it should (I believe) compile on 3.2, and apparently some people were able to find broadcom-wl packages on factory earlier?
