#1

Everytime i turn on openSUSE I’ve to follow this procedure to get wireless work, or I can’t see any wireless device, neither from iwconfig.

OS: openSUSE 11.3
wlan adapter: Broadcom 4312 14e4:4315

Everytime i boot up openSUSE wlan isn’t loaded fine.
I’ve to do all this, everytime:

sudo rmmod ssb
sudo rmmod wl
sudo modprobe wl
sudo iwconfig

As long as you are using wl, you need to blacklist ssb.

I’ve already done it.
It was working until some kind of upgrade, after which I’ve looked in /etc/modprobe.d/50-blacklist.conf and ssb was there with b43.

Make sure the update included the broadcom-wl-kmp-xxxx (kernel driver) package for your system.

For example, if using the desktop kernel, then

rpm -qa |grep wl

should return something like

broadcom-wl-5.100.82.38-7.pm.9.4.i586
broadcom-wl-kmp-desktop-5.100.82.38_k2.6.34.8_0.2-7.pm.9.4.i586
