Hi Experts
facing a issue with WiFi in opensuse 12.2. My WLAN card is of broadcom make BCM4318, for which I have extracted the firmware using fwcutter in /usr/sbin/install_bcm43xx_install with which desktop crashed but with a forced reboot the Wifi hardware is seen and gets connected to the network.
Now the problem is the internet pages are not opening. Dont know what to do as Wifi says connected with 6Mbps speed. How should I get over this problem.
Any remedies to overcome this would be highly appreciated. btw this works well in Win7
Regards
Anantha

In the stickies, it tells you how to stepwise analyze the problem, but I will
reproduce it here.
Step 1: Check your routing with ‘/sbin/route -n’. Make sure that there is an
entry with UG in the flags column. That should be OK if you are using
NetworkManager. If you are using ifup, you need to fix your configuration.
Step 2: Note the IP address in the gateway column in the row with the UG flags,
and run the command ‘ping -c5 IP_addr’. If that did not work, you are not
properly connected.
Step 3: If #2 worked, then try ‘ping -c5 8.8.8.8’. If that fails, your router
cannot see the Internet.
Step 4: If #3 is OK, then try ‘ping -c5 www.google.com’. It that fails, you have
a name server problem and you need to look at /etc/resolv.conf. If you want,
post the output of ‘cat /etc/resolv.conf | grep -v #’.
