Hi Guys,
I’m totally new to linux(not just openSUSE any Linux), for my studies I was instructed to install openSUSE 13.2(which is my first time with Linux after windows). I got the iso and tried the installation with bootable USB. But after the installation I saw that there was no WiFi icon on desktop. I had the same installation on my friends laptop and it worked fine(the WiFi). I concluded that my laptop has Broadcom BCM43142 wifi module and with others laptop it was realtek.
I had another installation on my laptop and then concluded at installation time(Network Setting Tab) only Ethernet Configuration Option appears. While with others laptops wifi and Ethernet both options were available. Did researches but didn’t understood anything (The commands, Yast, Zypper, Packman, etc.):shame:.
Can anybody guide me through this installation and enabling WiFi process:’(
Laptop-ASUS X553MA (Intel Pentium BayTrail M Quad Core 3540), 4GB RAM, Wireless Card BCM 43142 Chip.
Hi and welcome to the forum 
So, easiest way is to install the broadcom-wl and broadcom-wl-kmp packages from packman, however you need to make sure the kmp package matches your running kernel.
If you open a terminal and run the command;
uname -a
This will provide the kernel version running…
Next look at this page;
http://packman.links2linux.org/package/broadcom-wl/778601
After the k in the package name you see for example 3.16.7, does this match the output from the above command?
Thanks
my kernel is 13.6.6:\
Hi
OK, so you need to install a few packages and then grab the src rpm and build locally…
As root user;
zypper in kernel-devel kernel-syms make gcc patch rpmbuild
Now as your user (NOT root! 
) grab the src rpm;
wget http://packman.inode.at/suse/openSUSE_13.2/Essentials/src/broadcom-wl-6.30.223.248-10.11.src.rpm
rpmbuild --rebuild broadcom-wl-6.30.223.248-10.11.src.rpm
This will create a directory called rpmbuild in you user home directory, then in the last few lines of output you will see the two rpms needed including the full path, so now you can switch to root user and install with;
zypper in /full/path/broadcom-wl-<rest of the name>.rpm /full/path/broadcom-wl-kmp-default-<rest of the name>.rpm
mkinitrd
Vicky@linux-hnhl:~> zypper in kernel-devel kernel-syms make gcc patch rpmbuild
Root privileges are required for installing or uninstalling packages.
Vicky@linux-hnhl:~> sudo zypper in kernel-devel kernel-syms make gcc patch rpmbuild
We trust you have received the usual lecture from the local System
Administrator. It usually boils down to these three things:
#1) Respect the privacy of others.
#2) Think before you type.
#3) With great power comes great responsibility.

hey this happened after doing those commands
can you please be more specific coz i really didn’t understand what i was doing.

Hi
OK, you installed the packages but you didn’t rebuild the src rpm…
rpmbuild --rebuild broadcom-wl-6.30.223.248-10.11.src.rpm
Now, the ‘/full/path/’ reference is the names on your system… look at the terminal output when the above command is finished, if still not sure post the last 10 lines or so of the output 
BTW: Did anyone let your instructor know that 13.2 is long past End Of Life (EOL)?
Perhaps inform them that current versions are openSUSE Leap 42.2 and 42.3, latter is recommended.
But, if insisted, you would need to run the version required for the course.
If so, you are getting some first-class advanced (for a Linux newbie) lessons from good ol’ Malcolm. It will be worth doing and keeping notes.

:dont-know:
will you tell me basic procedure of what packages and rpm are, I think is it same like .exe files in windows. And what actually is wrong with this system that WiFi isn’t working.
I am really not aware why they are preferring 13.2 over leap and tumbleweed. Just got some hints that the kernel programming here is easy compared to others. I course has just started and hence I don’t know much. But surely with help from here and course I’ll learn many new things;). BTW many thanks to malcolmlewis:).
Hi
Ahh the buggy version of broadcom-wl, delete this and grab the newer version;
rm broadcom-wl-6.30.223.248-10.11.src.rpm

rpmbuild --rebuild broadcom-wl-6.30.223.271-7.25.src.rpm
how to delete?
Sorry if I’m annoying but please help:'(

Update bootloader...
Hey did everything go well?
Hi
Ahhh, that’s right 13.2 had the desktop kernel… default should be fine. If you want to switch back to the desktop one;
su -
zypper rm broadcom-wl-kmp-default kernel-default
cd /home/Vicky/rpmbuild/RPMS/x86_64/
zypper in broadcom-wl-kmp-desktop-6.30.223.271_k3.16.6_2-7.25.x86_64.rpm
So did you reboot?
Yes I did reboot but no signs of WiFi:(
That’s a bit vague. Can you show us the output from the following?
/usr/sbin/hwinfo --wlan
We need to see the wireless hardware details and what driver (if any) is now loaded.
well it didn’t showed up anything after executing this command, just some lines flashed rapidly no firm output shown.
but when i just executed hwinfo
linux-hnhl:/usr/sbin # hwinfo
alone it showed something and I found this relevant.
