Hi,
I have recently installed opensuse 12.1 in my DELL Inspiron 1564 laptop. My wireless card is from BROADCOM(BCM4312). As per

But the device is working for only few seconds (that too only after boot-up). after that I can’t able to connect to network.
the “dmesg” list is

What is the problem and what should I do next to make my wireless work?
