Wireless without network not working

Hello all,

I am a new Linux user and have installed openSUSE TumbleWeed with XFCE desktop on my system. Now, to set up my WiFi I followed these steps:

These steps had worked for me earlier when I had installed GeckoLinux(a customized Leap 42.1) with LXQT on the same laptop. But this time around, after the reboot, there is no difference and the WiFi networks are still undetected. Here is a screenshot of the display when I did the steps:

I went through this:

For an off-line installation, go to http://en.opensuse.org/HCL/Network_Adapters_(Wireless)/Broadcom_BCM43xx and follow the instructions in the "Installing firmware from RPM packages" section.

The web page has been deleted and due to no network on the system itself, I don’t believe the sudo command would be helpful. So don’t really know what to do next :confused:
