Yes, I did the following as I use the default kernel.

zypper in broadcom-wl broadcom-wl-kmp-default

#4

Further, I have also installed the following:

     zypper in b43-fwcutter
     sudo /usr/sbin/install_bcm43xx_firmware 
     zypper in b43-firmware

Even after this, /sbin/ifconfig does not list wlan0 entry.

It doesn’t look good for either driver
But ‘wl’ would require you follow this
Install Broadcom Drivers from Packman
