If you don’t already have the packman repo, add it.
This way. In a terminal become su -
then do
zypper ar -f http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/packman/suse/11.2/ packman
then
zypper ref
accept key and licence
then
zypper in broadcom-wl broadcom-wl-kmp-desktop
then reboot
===============
Just in case
Become su in Terminal - HowTo - openSUSE Forums
do each one in terminal?
lost on this one zypper ar -f http://ftp.gwdg.de/pub/linux/misc/packman/suse/11.2/ packman
yes, just step by step but as su, see the link
when i add first one the code: error while loading shared libraries: libzypp.so.619: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
RJR@linux-5u3s:~>
and hit enter i got that error?? or am i still doing it wrong?
sorry for feeling like a noob
No it’s a bug
check this thread
YAST, zypper corrupted after aborting update - openSUSE Forums

For the BCM4306, you can get firmware from Packman, or if you have
Internet access while in Linux, you can open a terminal and enter:
sudo /usr/sbin/install_bcm43xx_firmware
After that finishes, reboot and you will be able to configure the
wireless using either kNetworkManager or YaST if you use the ifup method.
Did you do in a su terminal
ln -s libzypp.so.631.0.4 libzypp.so.619
Then
zypper up libzypp zypper
Is it working now?
