are three stickies…in those you will find a way to get your wireless
working OR if you can’t do that you will find instructions on what you
need to provide so that the gurus here don’t have to do the “ASK ME
ANYTHING” step, they have already asked you everything they need answers
to…mostly…

Please follow this guide
You need a wired connection to get this setup
Install Broadcom Drivers from Packman
Oh, yes. And before you do anything. Make sure your install is fully updated!
Then install the driver from Packman
zypper in broadcom-wl broadcom-wl-kmp-desktop
Loading repository data…
Reading installed packages…
Resolving package dependencies…
2 Problems:
Problem: nothing provides kernel(desktop:drivers_base) = 47f06476d33bccaf needed by broadcom-wl-kmp-desktop-5.100.82.38_k2.6.34.0_12-7.pm.9.5.i586
Problem: nothing provides kernel(xen:kernel) = 29ce33a3c1def23d needed by broadcom-wl-kmp-xen-5.100.82.38_k2.6.34.0_12-7.pm.9.5.i586
Problem: nothing provides kernel(desktop:drivers_base) = 47f06476d33bccaf needed by broadcom-wl-kmp-desktop-5.100.82.38_k2.6.34.0_12-7.pm.9.5.i586
Solution 1: do not install broadcom-wl-kmp-desktop-5.100.82.38_k2.6.34.0_12-7.pm.9.5.i586
Solution 2: break broadcom-wl-kmp-desktop by ignoring some of its dependencies

zypper rr 3
zypper ar -f http://packman.inode.at/suse/openSUSE_11.4/ packman
and if you are up to date then do

this time worked
now to detect connections
You had added the wrong repo (11.3)
Probably worth a reboot

You are most welcome
