Since I couldnt get my broadcom wifi working on my new laptop (dv9925nr), I bought a Linksys WUSB54GC usb wifi adapter based on the rt73 chipset.
This is on a vanilla SuSE 11-64bit install.
I downloaded
http://www.ralinktech.com.tw/data/drivers/2008_0506_RT73_Linux_STA_Drv1.1.0.1.tar.bz2
decompressed it. after that cd into the directory it creates.
then cd into the “Modules” directory.
make sure you have kernel sources etc…
do a ‘make’
su to root
then do ‘make install’
as root…

you “should” see a “Compact wireless-g usb adapter” set up. EDIT it with whatever your configuratino requires (WEP/WPA, etc).
In “GLOBAL OPTIONS” I have “User Controlled with NetworkManager” checked just because its easier.
Thats what got it working for me. If it works for you, then enjoy.
