Hi all,I have read the stickies on here but am abit stuck.
Firstly am on Wireless 1397 MiniCard and ID Kernel Driver is ssb and am on Suse11.2,all is working except the wireless now.
From stickies I have
- run “dmesg | less” and I search for b43.phy0 the output is
[7.080756] b43-phy0: Broadcom 4312 WLAN found (core revision 15)
7.095240] b43-phy0 ERROR: FOUND UNSUPPORTED PHY (Analog 6, Type 5, Revision 1)
7.095291] b43: probe of ssb0:0 failed with error -95
2.Firmaware seems to be present as I have this output from logs
firmware check 7.095349] Broadcom 43xx driver loaded Features: PML, Firmware-ID: FW13 ]
3.When I tried iwlist scan only this output was seen and there is not scan for wlans
lo Interface doesn’t support scanning.
eth0 Interface doesn’t support scanning.
The wireless card is present when checked from yast.Am thinking the problem is on No.1 but not sure how to solve it.Am still a noob unfort.
I would appreciate any help.
Cheers all

Yes, an UNSUPPORTED device will hardly be operated by a driver.
If you switch to 11.3 when it comes out on the 15th, your device will be
sussorted, or you can use the Broadcom wl driver.

As I do not believe in closed-code solutions, I do not help with either
ndiswrapper or Broadcom wl.
Your device is supported by driver b43 in openSUSE 11.3, or in any kernel 2.6.32
or newer. I suggest you install 11.3 (out on July 15). Once installed, all you
will need to do is
sudo /usr/sbin/install_bcm43xx_firmware
After unloading/reloading b43, your wireless will work. You will only need to
configure the connection with NetworkManager.
HI
THanks alot,I am hesitant to reinstall because I wouldnt want to start all over again…this will be last resort,I will look into upgrading the kernel on here.
Cheers again
