hi!
Recently i started going into OSes other than Windows.
So, i installed openSUSE 11.3 32bit on my system in dual boot with Windows7 32bit.
Everything was okay 
But i couldn’t find any drivers for my laptop.
My problems are :
2+3. Post result of:
/sbin/lspci -nnk
Invoke the script from here which will analyze your system for common networking problems and provide help to fix them on your own. If you don’t get it fixed just post the generated outputfile which contains a lot of networking information of your system and will help us to help you.
@caf4926 : Thanks Will try the the solution for the first one when get back from College
and post the results of /sbin/lspci -nnk too
@framp i was able to solve the Wired problem using the script but i cudn’t get around the Wireless one 
Thanks
/sbin/lspci -nnk gave me the following output

I also need
uname -a
In the mean time please do this in a su - terminal
zypper ar -f http://packman.jacobs-university.de/suse/11.3/ packman
then
zypper ref
Accept the key/licence
OK
Once you have added that repo as shown above
do this:
zypper in broadcom-wl broadcom-wl-kmp-desktop
when that’s done
reboot
done all of the above
Not sure if that is good or bad
Is it working?
You may want to look at this too

Great it worked!
Amazing.
Hey, I’m always here, you pretty much can’t miss me.
Carl? u there?
i can’t make that FS tab editing thing
Great! That’s the main purpose of the script
but i cudn’t get around the Wireless one
Thanks
caf4926 asked for additional information. If you’d posted the output file which contains a lot of networkinginformation he’d be able to post the solution for your problem much faster 
That’s the second purpose of the script: Collect a lot of networking info so people can help you more quickly All the lspci -nnk and uname stuff for example is already in there.
yeah!!! both the problems were solved (wired and wireless) but now i need to access ntfs partition
thanks
