I saw the following was in your dmesg output
b43-phy0 ERROR: Firmware file "b43/ucode13.fw" not found
b43-phy0 ERROR: You must go to b43 - Linux Wireless and download the latest firmware (version 4).

and wonder if the firmware is installed. To install follow Larry’s guide
The BCM4312 works with 11.0 using the b43 driver. In fact, I’m using one now.
The bottom line with the native driver on Linux is that you need to install the
firmware. It is not distributed by anyone due to the restrictions of Broadcom.
Because you have network access while in Linux, you should open a terminal and
enter the following command:sudo /usr/sbin/install_bcm43xx_firmware
This will install the necessary firmware. If you have blacklisted any drivers to
try to get ndiswrapper installed, reverse those changes.To configure the wireless device, you should use YaST. Select Network Devices /
Network Settings. Your wireless device will likely show up there, but add it if
not. My preference is to use NetworkManager (selected in the global tab). Once
you have added the device there and finished, click on the KNetworkManager icon,
select “Edit Connections” and add a wireless connection.If your laptop has a wifi kill switch, please be certain that the switch is on.
It worked for me.
I installed and it worked
thanks
